“After twelve inspiring years, my time at Pinterest is winding down & I’ll be leaving the company at the end of the quarter. And what an amazing journey it has been! When I started at the company we had 200 employees, 60M global users, and exactly $0 in revenue. Fast forward to today and we have thousands of employees, 600M global users, and tens of thousands of advertisers that have invested billions of dollars in revenue on our platform”, he stated in his LinkedIn post.
