                    Executive Chairman at LinkedIn / Founding Partner Next Play
                    Ventures
                  description: >-
                    Jeff Weiner is the executive chairman of LinkedIn, where he
                    continues to help LinkedIn realize its vision of creating
                    economic opportunity for every member of the global
                    workforce through mentorship, coaching and advising current
                    leadership. 


                    Prior to becoming executive chairman in June 2020, Jeff was
                    the CEO of LinkedIn. During his 11-year tenure, LinkedIn
                    grew its membership base from 33M to more than 690M,
                    increased its revenue from $78M to over $7.9B and expanded
                    the team from 338 employees to over 16,000.


                    In addition to his ongoing work at LinkedIn, Jeff is the
                    founding partner of Next Play Ventures, where he’s focused
                    on investing in and coaching early stage start-ups and
                    growth stage companies. 


                    He is also a founding LP and serves on the Investment
                    Committee of Concrete Rose Capital, an early stage venture
                    fund focused on investing in diverse founders, start-ups
                    serving underserved communities and/or building diverse
                    teams. 


                    Jeff is also the co-founder of The Compassion Project, whose
                    mission is to ensure compassion is taught in every
                    elementary school in the U.S.


                    He presently resides on the board of directors of
                    Donorschoose.org. 


                    Prior to LinkedIn, Jeff was an Executive in Residence at
                    Accel Partners and Greylock Partners, primarily focused on
                    advising the leadership teams of the firm's existing
                    consumer technology portfolio companies while also working
                    closely with the firm’s partners to evaluate new investment
                    opportunities.


                    Previously, he served in key leadership roles at Yahoo! for
                    over seven years, including Executive Vice President of
                    Yahoo!'s Network Division managing Yahoo's consumer web
                    product portfolio, including Yahoo's Front Page, Mail,
                    Search, and Media products.

                      Akosua Boadi-Agyemang “Personally, Jeff, has impacted my
                      journey so much during his tenure as CEO of LinkedIn. In
                      so doing, he has shown me the true personification of
                      servant leadership. Jeff has showed up for me in ways that
                      have changed the trajectory of my career and life, and he
                      did so without knowing me, initially. While I was
                      searching for an internship in 2017, Jeff showed up
                      (commented on my LinkedIn post) and said “Akosua, would be
                      surprised if something doesn’t materialize.” This played a
                      massive part in where I am in my career at Microsoft
                      today. He showed up to support my first LinkedIn Live
                      stream as a beta tester for the feature. I told him the
                      day and time. I was nervous, had never beta tested
                      anything before. I asked the audience “can anyone see and
                      hear me?” and he showed up, saying, “can hear and see you
                      perfectly”. His support is incredible. When I wrote my
                      first article documenting #theBOLDjourney, Jeff showed up
                      - “This is just the beginning.” Again with the
                      encouragement. To say the least, Jeff has used his power
                      and platform as CEO of LinkedIn to not only empower me
                      but, to uplift millions, globally. In addition, through
                      the #plusonepledge he initiated during his tenure, he
                      ensured that others show up for one another, as well.
                      Jeff, thank you for always showing up. And for embodying
                      the true meaning of the Ngoni Bantu word, “Ubuntu” (I am,
                      because we are).”
                    - >-
                      Derek E. Baird, M.Ed. “While I was at Yahoo!, I had the
                      honor of working for Jeff on the Yahoo! Teachers social
                      networking product. Jeff was our executive sponsor on this
                      project and he was our strongest and most passionate
                      advocate. His knowledge of the consumer Internet and youth
                      media space was invaluable and his strategic eye was
                      instrumental in moving our product from a hack day idea
                      into a full beta. On this project Jeff also demonstrated
                      his deep and unwavering commitment to social
                      responsibility. Jeff is a doer. Throughout his tenure on
                      this project he was always more than willing to channel
                      the many resources at Yahoo!, as well as his many
                      connections, to help improve public education in this
                      country. Jeff is a truly exceptional, visionary and
                      inspiring leader. It was a true pleasure to have had the
                      opportunity to work for Jeff Weiner. It was, and continues
                      to be, a highlight of my career.”
