He isn't head of anything. He's a first level product manager that gave himself the title "Head of Developer Product". Recode wrote this last night and TechCrunch just cut and paste it. This is how fake news gets propagated.

If you search on linked in, there are plenty of leads and head ofs that is actually their job title, but they dont manage and not necessarily be the head of something.
I worked with him. Seems like a nice guy, smart. But he's product manager, and that's it. I don't know the story as to why this was picked up but it isn't a very important story. Unless first level product managers are newsworthy now.
