PALO ALTO — Earlier this month, LinkedIn’s general counsel of six years, Erika Rottenberg, announced plans to “press pause” and step down from her position.
It’s not the first time Rottenberg has taken time to recalibrate. She came to the law after a career in special education in Alaska. And in 2002, following a decade spent at Cooley and Creative Labs, and with her 40th birthday on the horizon, she left her GC post at Creative to bike coast-to-coast for nine weeks, raising money for cancer research.
