Ning’s New CEO on Its Fundraising, Its Future and Gina Bianchini’s Surprise Departure

Posted on: March 16, 2010 by Connie LoizosNo Comments »

For the very public Ning, CEO Gina Bianchini’s departure is a very private matter.

Yesterday morning, Marc Andreessen announced in a blog post that Bianchini had “decided to step down after five-and-a-half years of hard work” at Ning, the company they co-founded in 2004. Though Andreessen added that Bianchini is now becoming an entrepreneur-in-residence at his venture firm, observers immediately began speculating that Bianchini had been fired from Ning, noting that she appeared very focused on the company during an interview on “Charlie Rose” late last week.
