Working with Evan Sharp on Pinterest was the gift of a lifetime. Evan, thank you for inspiring me, the Pinterest team, and hundreds of millions of Pinners. 🙏 ❤️ 📌
May was my final month serving on the Pinterest Board of Directors. It was an honor to be part of such a capable, professional and dedicated group of Directors. As I made the tough decision to not stand for reelection to the board for personal reasons, it sparked a period of reflection on the past 15 years since we created Pinterest. What struck me most was how grateful I am to have learned so much from our users and team: about inspiration, about social media, and ultimately about the human mind and heart. So as I step off the board, I’d like to share this parting letter I wrote about the Soul of Pinterest, full of things I feel lucky to have learned on this journey. The ideas are simple, and I believe in every word. Thank you so much to everyone who’s worked on Pinterest past, present and future. Special thanks to Bill for his capable leadership of Pinterest into its next exciting chapter, Andrea for her tireless advocacy for the heart of the brand, and most importantly Ben for being my brother and friend on this journey of a life time. I’ve never been more excited about where the company is headed. I know what’s coming next will inspire the world. I can’t wait.

Today is a good day to work at Pinterest and I'm excited to share some new research from UC Berkeley and Pinterest (led by Daron Sharps, PhD on the Pinterest side) that shows that time spent on Pinterest can actually have a positive effect on your well-being: https://lnkd.in/d4KSf76U So go ahead and take that mental break on Pinterest.

This year I helped launch a non-profit app called How We Feel. It’s a free journal for your emotional wellbeing. Recently, we received Apple's 2022 App Store Award for Cultural Impact. Today, we’re kicking off a search for our first full-time hire, Founding Product Director. This person will set our product roadmap, manage releases, grow our team, and build research partnerships. It’s an opportunity to lead a small but mighty team of scientists, designers, engineers and therapists working to help everyone better understand and manage their own emotions.

How We Feel encourages people to check in with their feelings daily to help gain a better understanding of the right words to describe how they feel, spot trends and patterns, and practice simple strategies to regulate emotions in healthy ways. Excited for the team to have the chance to help support more people!
Earlier today, I shared with the Pinterest team that I’m transitioning to a new role, Executive Chairman. I’m excited that our new CEO will be Bill Ready. You can read the note I sent to our team here: https://lnkd.in/dn3dhFXg I’m so excited about the future with Bill Ready at the helm. I wanted to share 2 things here on LinkedIN. First, I want to thank all of you who use Pinterest. The best part of my job is hearing how people use our product to get inspiration for every part of their lives—from the everyday things to the epic moments. With your passion and feedback, the entire Pinner community has inspired me to do my very best over the past decade as CEO. Thank you for believing in us. I couldn’t be more grateful. Second, I want to thank every employee—past and present—who helped build Pinterest. So much attention goes to founders and CEOs. But the truth is, everything worth building is built by a team. I feel so lucky that thousands of exceptional, wildly talented, creative and kind people joined our journey. Being part of the Pinterest team with all of you has always been the best part of the job. You’ve brought me so much joy and taught me a ton. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. With all my love and gratitude, Ben
