David Risher, CEO of Lyft since 2023, brings a unique blend of experiences from Microsoft and Amazon to his role. Starting his career at Microsoft, he later worked with Jeff Bezos at Amazon, which nurtured his competitive and customer-oriented mindset. Risher's typical day includes an early morning routine focused on well-being, consisting of exercises, reading the news, and staying informed via email and Slack. His leadership style emphasizes purpose, informed by his nonprofit work, and he has demonstrated a commitment to hands-on experiences by biking to work and occasionally driving for Lyft.
I wanted to bring the competitive spirit I learned at Microsoft... and the customer obsession I'd learned from working with Jeff Bezos at Amazon.
After I joined the board of Lyft four years ago, I was asked to apply to be CEO. At first, I said no, but the more I thought about it, the more excited I got.
