Dagmar Van den Boom joins Blogger following resignation from LinkedIn

Former LinkedIn DACH-head joins Google's Blogger platform

Dagmar Van den Boom has joined Google's Blogger platform as of November 23, 2021, following her resignation from LinkedIn, where she previously served as the head of DACH.

Van den Boom's departure from LinkedIn and subsequent joining of Blogger has generated significant buzz within the industry, as she is a well-respected figure in the social media and tech space.

In a statement released on LinkedIn, Van den Boom expressed her gratitude to her former colleagues and LinkedIn, but also her excitement about the new opportunities that lie ahead at Blogger.

"I am very grateful for my time at LinkedIn and the incredible people I have had the pleasure of working with," Van den Boom said. "LinkedIn is an amazing company with a mission that I am deeply passionate about. I wish my colleagues and the company all the best in the future."

Van den Boom did not disclose the specific reasons for her departure from LinkedIn, but she hinted at a desire for new challenges and opportunities for growth.

"I am excited to join Blogger and contribute to the company's mission of making it easy for people to share their stories and ideas with the world," Van den Boom said. "I believe that Blogger has enormous potential, and I am eager to help the company achieve its goals."

Van den Boom's appointment to Blogger is seen as a significant win for Google, as she is an experienced and well-connected executive with a deep understanding of the social media landscape.

It is also worth noting that Blogger has been relatively quiet in recent years, so Van den Boom's arrival could signal a renewed focus on the platform from Google.

Only time will tell what Van den Boom's impact on Blogger will be, but her appointment is certainly a positive sign for the platform and its users.
