"The last eleven years have been the greatest professional experience of my life and none of it would have been possible without you, our members. Thank you for everything you've done to help manifest our vision to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce", Jeff said in a post.

 

Ryan Roslansky, currently Senior Vice President of Product, will become CEO of LinkedIn effective June 1, 2020.  He will report directly to Satya Nadella and join Microsoft’s senior leadership team.

 

"I’m taking on this new role of CEO because I believe deeply in what we are doing, how we are manifesting our vision, and where this company can go. And the best part about it is that I truly believe we’re just getting started", Ryan wrote.
