Madhav Chinnappa, director of news ecosystem development at Google has been laid off. He wrote on LinkedIn:
“I am leaving Google as part of the #googlelayoffs I am on gardening leave at the moment which allows too much time to contemplate work, career, life etc. In the end, I am proud of what I have been able to achieve during my almost 13 years at Google.
“And what now: I am in the privileged position of being able some time to figure that out. Though if you have any ideas or thoughts, please message me as I am all ears and have more time on my hands now!”
Chinnappa joined Google in August 2010 as head of strategic partnerships for Google News and Magazines EMEA. Since then, he has served as head of news partnerships – international and head of strategic relations, news and publishers.
Before that, he worked in BBC Journalism as head of business development and rights. He also worked at deputy director of marketing and development at Associated Press Television News.
Chinnappa has a B.A. from Rice University.
