Endeavor Co-founder & CEO, Entrepreneur, VC emerging markets, Board Member, CRAZY IS A COMPLIMENT Author, Mom of Identical Twin Teen Girls.

“Innovator for the 21st Century” (TIME), “America’s Best Leader” (U.S. News), “The Entrepreneur Whisperer” (ABC, FOX, NPR) are among the designations given to Linda Rottenberg. Five Harvard & Stanford business school case studies trace the story of Linda’s rise from Chica Loca (“the Crazy Girl”) to global thought leader. Why crazy? Two decades ago, Linda insisted that high-growth, high-impact entrepreneurs exist outside of Silicon Valley; almost no one believed her.

As co-founder and CEO of Endeavor, Linda has led the global entrepreneurship movement since 1997. With 50 offices spanning the world, Endeavor rigorously selects, scales up, and co-invests in the fastest growing founders in emerging and underserved markets. The 2,500 Endeavor Entrepreneurs generate over $24BN in annual revenue and 4 million jobs. Linda also oversees $250M Endeavor Catalyst LP Funds.

Beyond Endeavor, Linda currently serves on three corporate boards: a leading digital transformation business (NYSE: GLOB); a SaaS-based food-ordering platform (OLO); and a new SPAC formed by LinkedIn/Zynga founders Reid Hoffman and Marc Pincus (NYSE: RTPZ-U). Linda is also a member of YPO and the Yale President’s Council on International Activities (Yale PCIA). Her book, CRAZY IS A COMPLIMENT, became an instant NYT bestseller. Other recognitions include: World Economic Forum Global Leader for Tomorrow & WEF Young Global Leader; Silicon Valley Forum Visionary Award; Heinz Award in Technology, the Economy and Employment; Babson College Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters; Yale Law School Award of Merit. A graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School, Linda lives in Brooklyn Heights with her husband, author Bruce Feiler, and twin daughters.
