How Did Justin Rosenstein Earn His Money?

Born on May 13, 1983, in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, Justin Rosenstein has been aiming for greatness ever since he was a teenager. He was a successful high school Lincoln–Douglas debater, and with his academics and co-curricular backing him up, he managed to enroll at Stanford University, from where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in mathematics at age of 20. Justin was pursuing a Computer Science degree as well, but he dropped out of the program in 2004 to join Google as a Product Manager.

At Google, Justin Rosenstein led projects in their communications and collaborations division. Initially, this included the Google Page Creator, the precursor to Google Sites, and a project code-named “Platypus,” which eventually turned out to be Google Drive. He also created and wrote the original prototype for Gmail Chat, now known as Hangouts, and is one of the many people who have a hand in Google’s text editor. After about three years here, in May of 2007, Justin left the organization to work at Facebook, as an Engineering Manager.

As an executive at Facebook, he got the opportunity to work in close quarters with both Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz. In fact, in just the year and a half that he worked there, he was able to not only have a hand in co-creating Facebook’s Pages, the Facebook Like button, and the Facebook Beacon, but he led the teams that developed them. However, in November 2008, Justin left the company to co-found a collaborative software organization by the name of Asana, along with Dustin Moskovitz. The aim of this is to empower humanity – to improve the productivity of individuals and groups so as to increase output.

Justin Rosenstein, as the co-founder of Asana, leads its product and design departments. Along with that, he is also a frequent speaker on issues that revolve around business and technology. Apart from being featured in ‘The Social Dilemma,’ he has also published his opinions in Wired, Fast Company, TechCrunch, and TIME. Most recently, though, in February of 2019, Justin co-founded another organization by the name of One Project, whose mission is to use technology for social good by working with communities worldwide.
