Yishan Wang

Yishan Wang appears in Steve Huffman on Reddit’s Origin Story, Sale, and Return as the CEO who led Reddit after it spun out from [[CondeNast|Conde Nast]] and regained more startup-like structure. The episode mentions him as part of the period when Reddit received money, an options pool, and the ability to hire more like a startup again.

The source does not profile Wang in depth, but it places his CEO period inside Reddit’s recovery from Corporate-Owned Startup Constraints.
