LinkedIn to Establish Canadian Outpost

Professional networking site LinkedIn is expanding to the north, naming Jonathan Lister as its country manager for Canada and tasking him with establishing its first office in that country.

Lister had been country manager for Google Canada, and he has also worked with AOL Canada and AOL Europe.

At the future LinkedIn office in Toronto, he will focus on user engagement, strategic partnerships, marketing, and general operations with an eye toward boosting LinkedIn’s revenue from user subscriptions, advertising sales, and enterprise-software licensing.

LinkedIn vice president of international Arvind Rajan said:

Appointing someone of Jonathan’s caliber to lead LinkedIn’s Canadian operations marks another significant milestone in our international growth.
