Who was named CEO of Lyft in March 2023? David Risher was named Lyft’s CEO in March 2023.

Risher succeeded co-founder Logan Green, while co-founder John Zimmer announced that he would leave the president role and become vice-chair of Lyft’s board. Risher formally took over as CEO in April 2023, bringing executive experience from Microsoft and Amazon.

The timing can cause confusion: March was when Lyft announced the appointment, while April was when Risher succeeded Green operationally. Jon McNeill was a Lyft executive and former Tesla executive, but he was not the CEO appointed in 2023. Lyft was founded as Zimride by Green and Zimmer before adopting the Lyft name.
