Dropbox, headquartered in San Francisco, has announced Todd Jackson as its first VP of product
Dropbox has announced its latest high-level executive hire, bringing Todd Jackson on board as the company’s new — and first — vice president of product.
Jackson is a veteran of Twitter, Facebook and Google, making him something of a heavyweight in tech and his hiring a coup for Dropbox.
In a release, Dropbox has welcomed Jackson to the fold, saying: “Todd’s an exceptionally talented leader who shares our passion for creating products people love.”
That passion has a long history, and is evidenced in the success of products to which he has been attached.
At Google, Jackson worked as product lead on Gmail from 2007 to 2011, coinciding with its surge in popularity. He was involved with design and development of Facebook’s News Feed and Photos, and was director of product management at Twitter, where he oversaw Timeline.
