In an official blog post from Nest, a Google subsidiary specializing in smart home appliances, founder and CEO Tony Fadell has announced that he will leave his subsidiary. Fadell's article states:
"While this may have surprised many, this change began last year and while I will not be present at Nest, I will continue to act as an adviser to Alphabet and Larry Page. This will give me the time and ability to adapt to pursue new opportunities and change other careers - and to help those with the same goals - just like what we did at Nestle. "
Before leaving the Nest, Tony Fadell became famous for his role as manager of the creative process and production of the iPod. After leaving Apple, Fadell founded the Nest and succeeded with two products of thermometers and smoke detectors received enthusiastic reception. In 2014, Nest acquired by Google for $ 3.2 billion and Fadell once again became one of the most noted names in the tech world.However, the journey of Fadell at Google encountered many obstacles. Over the past three years, Nest has not been able to launch any successful product. The acquisition of Dropcam became a disaster as nearly all of the company's personnel left Nest for one year after the merger. Two months ago, the CEO of Dropcam even posted a counter-comment to Fadell's comment that "Dropcam's humanity is disappointing" with stories describing Fadell as a poor and authoritarian leader.
Contrary to Fadell's above statement, this transfer may have only begun recently under pressure from investors after Nest had caused a lot of disappointment.
Alongside Nest, Fadell was also tasked with developing the second generation Google Glass after the product failed miserably through a one-year trial program. Now, when leaving the Nest, Fadell legacy is still encapsulated in the iPod and all that Nest made before being sold to Google.
