Lyft announced that the company’s co-founders, CEO Logan Green and president John Zimmer have decided to transition from their full-time executive management positions into non-executive roles as chair and vice chair of the Lyft board, effective April 17, and June 30, respectively. David Risher, a technology executive who previously served as Amazon’s first head of product and head of U.S. retail – and a general manager at Microsoft – before co-founding Worldreader, will become CEO on April 17. Risher’s selection follows a thorough search process conducted by the Lyft board with the assistance of a leading executive search firm.
