About
John Zimmer co-founded Zimride with Logan Green in 2007 and Lyft in 2012, serving as President through the 2019 IPO and stepping down in 2023. A Cornell hotel-school graduate and former Lehman Brothers analyst, he shaped Lyft's hospitality-led brand — the pink moustache, the front-seat ride — as deliberate differentiation from Uber.
