The head of Google+ has reportedly quit his job

March 03, 2015 01:38

David Besbris became head of Google+ in April 2014. In October 2014, he proclaimed that Google was invested in its underwhelming social network "for the long haul." Now, less than a year after he took the job, Besbris is reportedly out as Google+ lead.

According to TechCrunch, Besbris has been replaced by Bradley Horowitz, a Google VP of product who's been with Google+ from the start.

It took six months for Google to offer an official statement on the direction of its social media operation after previous boss Vic Gundrota departed.

Besbris -- who won the job over Horowitz in April 2014 -- gave a lengthy interview to Recode in which he managed to say very little about Google+'s future plans and dodge questions about what the social network could improve on.
