President reddit resigned
Ishan Wong (Yishan Wong), now former president of reddit, filed a rest a week ago. For 3 years that he headed the company, the number of reddit users has grown from 35 million to 174 million. He is also responsible for the decision to close all reddit offices and relocate employees to San Francisco. Interestingly, the reason for his resignation was a disagreement with the board of directors in search of a new reddit building.

Ellen Pao was appointed interim president, who had previously held the position of senior vice president of strategic partnerships. Also under her control is the mobile development reddit, which is actively developing this year .
Dan McComas (Dan McComas, by the way, he is also my boss), who is the founder of redditgifts , now holds the position of senior vice president of product development (senior vice president of product). In addition to his main position, Dan will hold the position of interim vice president of IT and development (vice president of engineering). By the way, reddit begins to search for a candidate for this position (vice president of engineering).
Well, the most wonderful news of this restructuring - Alexis Ohanian, one of the founders of reddit , is coming back to us, this time, as executive chairman. After my brief communication with him, I can say that he is a very interesting person with a lot of interesting ideas and plans regarding reddit, and I am very glad that he will head our company in the future.
With regard to changes within the company, which were not publicly announced:
- reddit goes from a flat org structure to a more hierarchical one, i.e. now there will be teams, managers, etc.
- The dates for moving to San Francisco have become more flexible, now there is no mandatory requirement to move before January, and it is possible later.
- The new office will be located in San Francisco itself, and not in the previously planned area of ​​the San Francisco Bay Area.
