Technologist at Heart! I am passionate about building products & technology that create lasting value for users. I also enjoy mentoring & growing talent while scaling companies. Although I strive to be the best mentor I can, I am in awe of those that can truly teach and inspire.. At Facebook, I lead teams focussed on Facebook Shopping as. part of the Facebook App Commerce organization.. Prior to Facebook, I was Head of Engineering at Hired where I lead multiple teams with 50+ people across Subscription Product, Search & Discovery product engineering, Machine Learning, Marketplace Engineering, Data Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering & IT.. Prior to Hired, Abhishek worked at LinkedIn for 7+ years where he grew and led a team of 100+ engineers that built two of LinkedIn's most successful Saas Products (LinkedIn Recruiter & Sales Navigator). Under Abhishek LinkedIn Recruiter’s annual recurring revenue grew from $50 million to $1+ billion and Sales Navigator’s annual revenue recurring grew from 0 to $300 million.. Even before that, Abhishek graduated with a Masters in Artificial Intelligence (AI) from Stanford. At Stanford, as a Teaching Assistant, he taught Machine Learning, Data Mining & Operating Systems. Currently, he lives with his wife, who's an entrepreneur, in San Francisco.
