ChoiceVendor Founder Yan-David Erlich Leaves LinkedIn After Two Months

We've just learned that ChoiceVendor founder and CEO Yan-David Erlich has left LinkedIn, just under two months after his startup was acquired by the professional social network. Erlich was a formerly a product manager at Google, Battery Ventures EIR and founder of Mogad/Social.IM. He sold the latter to iSkoot before he founded ChoiceVendor, which he then sold to LinkedIn for an undisclosed amount rumored to be in the $5 million rage. Sources say that Erlich, who must be walking away from a large amount of equity, is leaving the company for personal reasons. We've also heard that LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner is not particularly thrilled about this latest development -- Weiner himself admitted that ChoiceVendor was primarily a talent acquisition on LinkedIn's part.
