LinkedIn has named Jeff Weiner as its CEO, replacing Reid Hoffman, who wil remain on as founder and executive chairman. Weiner has been in the interim president role since January.
During Weiner's time in the President role, he has overseen all operations and played a defining role in developing and excuting the company's strategy on a global scale.
Speaking of that global scale, LinkedIn announced this week that it was investigating ways to make LinkedIn available in more languages. Out of the users the company polled, the majority said they'd help out with this for upgraded accounts.
"Working closely with Reid and the team over the past six months exceeded all of my expectations coming into the company," says Weiner. "I couldn’t be more excited about our progress to date, and the opportunity ahead of us."
