Lyft CEO David Risher is leading a comeback story at the ridesharing company. Two years into the job, he’s made Lyft profitable, expanded into Europe, and grown market share against Uber.
In this conversation with Mosheh, Risher looks into the future: hybrid fleets of drivers and robotaxis, how AI will shape transportation, and whether the next generation of Americans will even need to learn how to drive. He lays out Lyft’s vision for cities of the future — and how to balance innovation with human connection at a time when technology often isolates more than it brings us together.
Risher also reflects on his experience at senior levels of Microsoft and Amazon, sharing what he’s learned about leadership, customer loyalty (obsessions), and the lessons tech has and hasn’t learned from the past couple decades.
