About Scott Roberts
With over 25 years of work experience, I am a seasoned business development leader and investor with a passion for building and growing strategic partnerships, products, and platforms. I have a proven track record of driving value and innovation in the technology, media and social sectors. As the Head of Business Development at LinkedIn, I lead a global team that is responsible for creating and executing the Company's partnership strategy and vision, as well as managing key relationships with major players in the industry. I am motivated by LinkedIn's mission to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce, and I strive to leverage my diverse background and expertise to contribute to the Company's growth and impact. Prior to joining LinkedIn, I worked in Business Development and Business Management at Yahoo!, where I oversaw the business operations and strategic initiatives for several product groups, including Search, Mail, Messenger, and Flickr. I also participated in several acquisitions and partnerships, such as Flickr, del.icio.us, and Right Media. In addition, I have been an active investor and advisor for several startups and venture funds, such as CRCM, Ride Ventures, Klever, Truework, and Oura. I have a keen interest in emerging technologies and trends, such as AI, blockchain, health, and wellness, and I enjoy supporting and mentoring entrepreneurs and innovators in these fields.
