Bio

I am the co-founder and President of Lyft. My interest in transportation began at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration. After I learned that cars are only used 4% of the time, I began working on ways to use existing infrastructure to solve the problem of unused cars and empty seats. After graduating I spent two years at Lehman Brothers before ridesharing my way from New York to San Francisco to join my co-founder Logan Green in launching Zimride, and eventually Lyft. We're excited to help play a role in redesigning our cities around people instead of cars.
