Asana picks Dan Rogers, formerly of ServiceNow, to replace CEO Dustin Moskovitz
Collaboration software maker Asana said Wednesday it has chosen former Rubrik and ServiceNow executive Dan Rogers to be its new CEO, replacing co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Rogers will start at San Francisco-based Asana on July 21, the company announced. Rogers will leave his post as CEO of LaunchDarkly, a startup with software for carefully releasing code updates. Rogers joined LaunchDarkly in 2023. Moskovitz co-founded Facebook parent Meta before leaving to start Asana in 2008. In March, Asana said he would retire. Moskovitz will continue as chair of Asana's board of directors as the company works to diversify with artificial intelligence tools. Asana's AI Studio software generated over $1 million in annualized revenue during the April quarter. "This moment represents an unprecedented opportunity for AI to evolve the way people work, and Dan is the leader with the experience, vision, and expertise needed to guide Asana into its next chapter," Moskovitz said in a statement. "I am excited to support Dan." Moskovitz, whom Bloomberg estimates is worth over $11 billion, has received $5 in total compensation for the past five fiscal years. Rogers, by contrast, will receive a $650,000 base salary and $35 million in restricted stock units. Rogers will also be eligible for a $650,000 annual target bonus. Before joining LaunchDarkly, Rogers ran marketing at ServiceNow and Symantec, and he held roles at Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Salesforce. He arrived at LaunchDarkly after spending three years as president of data management software company Rubrik. LaunchDarkly did not immediately respond to a request for comment on its own succession plans. After going public through a direct listing in 2020, Asana saw shares rise during the pandemic, alongside other software stocks. The stock price gradually drifted downward, and Moskovitz bought up more and more of the company. On Wednesday, the stock closed at $12.93 per share, down from its record close of $142.68 in November 2021. Moskovitz owns about 39% of outstanding Asana shares, according to FactSet. The stock was unchanged after hours following the CEO announcement.

Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskovitz
Former Wall Street Journal reporter Cari Tuna and husband Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook and the productivity platform Asana, launched their foundation Good Ventures in 2011 with an ambitious mission to 'improve as many lives as possible, as much as possible' in an effort to help humanity 'thrive.' The couple, both Giving Pledge signatories, are also among the founders of Open Philanthropy, a grantmaker that advises major donors, including Tuna and Moskovitz, on how to maximize the impact of their giving. Good Ventures and Open Philanthropy favor a data-centric approach, intended to direct dollars to causes where they can do the most good. Tuna, who is co-founder and chair of Good Ventures and chair of Open Philanthropy, says that approach involves considering three key criteria in deciding which causes to focus on: neglectedness, importance, and tractability (how hard it might be to solve). She says, "If we are only giving to the things that are important to us as donors then we are missing a whole swath of other opportunities to improve people's lives, especially the causes that are affecting the most disadvantaged people in the world." That strategy has led Tuna and Moskovitz to direct their money to a wide range of causes they consider underfunded, including the prevention of lead poisoning and illness due to poor air quality. Open Philanthropy is also one of the biggest philanthropic funders of research on AI safety. In March, Open Philanthropy also launched a $120 million fund, with half of the money coming from Good Ventures, to fund research and advocacy to reduce regulatory and other barriers to housing and green energy infrastructure development.
