Craig Silverstein, Google's First Employee, Departs for Khan Academy
Craig Silverstein, the first employee hired by Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, will leave the search giant for Khan Academy, an online education portal based in Mountain View, Calif.
“Craig’s been with Google since the early days,” said a Google spokesperson. “He was instrumental in the development of search and made numerous contributions to Google over the years. We wish him all the best at the Khan Academy and know that he will do great things to help them promote education around the world.”
News of Silverstein’s departure first appeared yesterday in EdSurge, a newsletter on education and technology entrepreneurship. Google confirmed the news with the folks at AllThingsD.
