Logan Green is the co-founder and former CEO of Lyft, a well-known ride-sharing company that has changed how people travel in cities. He was born on January 1, 1983, and he studied Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he also started the first car-share program on campus. Under his leadership, Lyft grew from a small startup to a major player in the transportation industry, known for its pink mustaches and focus on trust and community between drivers and passengers. In 2021, he received over $13 million in total compensation, reflecting the growth successes of Lyft. Interestingly, he transitioned from CEO to a non-executive advisor role in 2023 but remains influential in the company's direction. Logan's journey with Lyft is filled with challenges, from IPOs to market competition, but he continues to contribute as a board member and stakeholder.

Compensation History

See how much did Logan Green make over time.

In 2023, Logan Green earned a total of approximately $814,400 in compensation, which included a base salary of $203,736 and valuable vested stock awards. Notably, he did not receive a cash bonus since Lyft did not have a corporate bonus plan that year. His previous year's compensation in 2022 was much higher, at around $13 million, which included substantial stock grants and various benefits. The significant drop in compensation reflects his recent transition from CEO to board member, yet it underscores the enormous financial stakes involved when leading a public company. This shift allows him to focus on long-term strategies while remaining a key player in Lyft's governance as they adapt to ongoing challenges in the market.
