Artem Fishman

“I had the opportunity to collaborate with Artem during my three-year tenure at LinkedIn, where he served as my direct manager for two years. Artem also played a pivotal role in expanding LinkedIn's New York office site during this period. Artem stands out as an exceptional leader, ranking among the top managers I've encountered in my 15-year career. His unique strengths enable him to navigate conflict and chaos with a calm demeanor. While ensuring accountability, he grants significant autonomy and offers thoughtful support when needed. Artem readily takes charge when required, but he consistently empowers team members to lead, generously acknowledging their achievements. His ability to provide direct, constructive feedback contributes to the growth of leaders. Throughout his tenure, Artem actively cultivated a strong and vibrant NY site culture while making significant strides in promoting Women in Technology (WIT) allyship at LinkedIn. I wholeheartedly recommend Artem to any organization seeking a leader who promotes autonomy, collaboration, and innovation.”

“Artem is a seasoned leader with the experience to manage complex problems across all areas of technology management. He gets a lot of energy from solving business problems and is quite well-versed at leveraging technology as a means to a business end. He’s also someone who operates with the right intentions and makes a great collaborator even in challenging situations. I remember having to work with Artem on some tricky reorgs and I was quite impressed by his ability to make even difficult conversations simple and effective. Some of that is obviously experience but it also required good intentions and good problem solving skills to get the outcomes we wanted. As someone who has less experience than him in management, I’m grateful for the poise and maturity he brought to several such conversations, both in private and in larger groups. And not surprisingly, there have been other moments where I found myself channeling my inner Artem in conversations that required similar poise. Artem is also a well liked leader by his team. One of the best testimonials that I saw for Artem’s people leadership was in the reaction from a highly independent and effective senior leader who once reported to him. Although I expected this particular leader to react in some way, I was still quite taken by the level of emotion their relationship was able to inspire. To me, the ability to deeply inspire and move other strong leaders is the mark of a true leader. Between his empathy, product/tech sensibilities and strong organizational skills, Artem possesses all the leadership qualities needed to build, lead and manage large organizations in complex problem spaces. I had the the opportunity to work in the same area as Artem for almost the entirety of his tenure at LinkedIn and it was definitely a pleasure to partner with him during his time here.”
