Lime’s co-founder began with a familiar urban nuisance: a trip too short to drive and too long to walk. From 125 campus bicycles to a second act in fruit tea, his career keeps returning to the habits of everyday life.
Wayne Ting is the CEO of Lime, the world's largest shared electric vehicle company, where since 2020 he has led the green scooter-and-bike fleet from cash-burning startup to the first profitable micromobility business of its kind. A Taiwan-born Nebraska kid turned Columbia class president, Obama policy advisor, and Uber chief of staff, he has spent his career on the operational side of big consumer platforms.
