April 22 (Reuters) - ‌Microsoft's LinkedIn ​named ​Chief Operating Officer Daniel Shapero as its ‌new CEO, tapping a veteran ⁠of the professional networking site to ‌lead it through ‌an era of AI-driven change.

Shapero, who joined LinkedIn in 2008 ​as a general manager for the LinkedIn Research ⁠Network, will replace Ryan Roslansky as CEO.

The ​leadership shake-up, effective immediately, comes as LinkedIn looks to deepen ​its role at ‌the center of an AI-transformed workforce. The platform ⁠boasts more than 1.3 billion members and accounted for 6.3% ⁠of Microsoft's annual revenue in 2025.

"AI ​is going to transform how people work and grow in their careers ‌faster than most people expect," Roslansky said.
