托尼·法德尔（tonyfadell）即将离开他创建并**给谷歌（Google）的家庭自动化公司Nest。他将成为拉里·佩奇和字母表的顾问，但不会参与Nest的日常工作。根据他刚刚发表的一篇博客文章，这一转变自“去年底”以来一直在进行——但最近有关动荡、灾难性收购Dropcam以及Nest plus Tony新成立的电动卡丁车公司Actev Motors推迟上市的报道无疑让人感觉到变革将以某种方式到来。

“我不喜欢做维护模式，”法德尔告诉《****》关于他的离开这不是让我起床的原因。”

Nest的新任首席执行官将是Marwan Fawaz，他曾是有线电视公司Charter的首席技术官，在摩托罗拉总部工作。托尼的声明特别指出了一个事实，即他离开公司时有一个两年的路线图，因此我们将看看Nest能否在近期推出任**产品——在广受好评的Nest六年前问世之后，Nest Protect烟雾探测器和重新命名的Nest Cam并没有在爆炸式增长的物联网/家庭自动化市场上造成巨大的冲击。

谷歌在2014年收购了Nest，在搜索重组为Alphabet之后，Nest成为了这些部门之一，独立于谷歌。但从那以后，Nest就没有什么好的新闻报道了。法德尔参加了本周早些时候的代码会议，但没有公开表示他将离开公司。Next的一位发言人表示，法德尔将更多地与他资助的一些初创公司合作，包括Phononic、Actev、Mousera和Impossible Foods。

以下是托尼的陈述：

Last year, I began discussi*** with members of my team about my next endeavor. After six years of working on Nest, leading it through 4.5 years of double-digit growth and c***istently high marks from customers, I leave Nest in the hands of a strong and experienced leadership team, with Marwan at the helm and a well-defined, two-year product roadmap in place. I’m looking forward to my new role as an advisor to Alphabet and Larry, which will give me more time and flexibility to pursue new opportunities to create and disrupt other industries - and to support others who want to do the same - just as we’ve done at Nest.

拉里·佩奇：

Under Tony’s leadership, Nest has catapulted the connected home into the mainstream, secured leadership positi*** for each of its products, and grown its revenue in excess of 50% year over year since they began shipping products. He’s a true visionary and I look forward to continuing to work with him in his new role as advisor to Alphabet. I’m delighted that Marwan will be the new Nest CEO and am confident in his ability to deepen Nest’s partnerships, expand within enterprise channels, and bring Nest products to even more homes.

在彭博社的一次广泛采访中，法德尔大声为自己在雀巢的记录辩护，包括雀巢运送的产品和赚的钱。他对自己的未来也有这样的看法：

I don’t know why I feel this way, but between working closely with Bill Campbell, working closely with Steve Jobs and watching a lot of my mentors pass on, unfortunately, I feel like I bear this resp***ibility now. There’s a few of us who are keepers of that knowledge.

这并不意味着具体的计划，但绝对意味着雄心勃勃。很明显，法德尔打算重新开始生产新产品——可能不仅仅是卡丁车。
