Founding Story
Logan Green is a highly visionary American technology entrepreneur and the profoundly influential CEO and co-founder fundamentally responsible for architecting the massive Lyft ridesharing empire. Operating as a fiercely passionate advocate for sustainable urban transportation, Green aggressively recognized the massive, catastrophic inefficiencies of single-occupancy vehicles. He relentlessly partnered with John Zimmer to initially launch Zimride, a highly successful college carpooling network. In 2012, as the mobile revolution exploded, Green fiercely pivoted the company to completely pioneer the on-demand ridesharing model with Lyft. By aggressively fostering a highly community-centric brand identity—famously featuring massive pink mustaches—his absolutely rigorous strategic leadership completely disrupted the global taxi industry, permanently establishing Lyft as an absolute multi-billion dollar monopoly in North American transit.
