Species: this morning, LinkedIn has announced the appointment of his seventh member of the Board, Stan Meresman.Nous'll pardon if this name is ringing the bells with you immediately, but suffice it to say that he is a man with plenty of experience serving on the Board of Directors of and advising public companies in his belt.
In addition to LinkedIn, Meresman is a member of the riverbed, Meru Networks and HyTrust.Auparavant Board, Meresman has been on the Board of Directors of Polycom, VMware software sea stars and Lightsurf, as well as an advisor to Silicon Image, Inktomi and Real Networks.
