Ryan Roslansky, born on December 4, 1977, in South Lake Tahoe, California, isn’t your typical tech executive. He grew up with a curious mind and a practical approach to solving problems—something that would later shape how he runs one of the largest professional networks in the world. After finishing school at Saint Stephen’s in 1996, he went on to study at the University of California, Davis. Before LinkedIn, Ryan spent time working at Yahoo! and Glam Media, where he built his foundation in product strategy and leadership. He joined LinkedIn in 2009, and over the years, worked his way up by consistently focusing on user experience, learning innovation, and smart business moves—like leading the $1.5 billion acquisition of Lynda.com in 2015. When Jeff Weiner stepped down in 2020, Ryan took over as CEO. Since then, he’s helped LinkedIn cross big milestones—like hitting over a billion members and generating more than $15 billion in yearly revenue. What sets him apart is his belief in a "skills-first" future. He’s been pushing companies to hire based on what people can do—not just what’s on their resumes. But Ryan isn’t just a tech guy in a suit. At home, he’s a dad of three daughters and is often spotted coaching their sports teams. Balancing board meetings with basketball practice is just another day for him. He also sits on the boards of GoDaddy and Intuit, bringing his perspective on building inclusive, forward-thinking platforms. Ask anyone who’s worked with him, and they’ll say Ryan’s style is direct, grounded, and people-first. Whether it's steering LinkedIn through rapid AI shifts or championing new talent pathways, he stays focused on one big goal—opening up economic opportunity for everyone.
