The last three and a half years haven’t been so great for social media platforms. They’ve been accused of fomenting genocide, breaking Western democracies, and abetting mass shooters. The CEOs have sweated in front of Congress, meditated deep in the forests, and deleted the very apps that made them billionaires. Amid this drama, Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn, has been like a man whistling as he bikes safely beside the century’s craziest car crash. His company has quietly grown, gained influence, and avoided acrimony. The worst that people generally say is that it’s all been pleasantly boring.

And so it’s fitting that on Wednesday, Weiner is stepping into a new role in a calm, sensible transition, seemingly designed to make as few waves as possible. He’s announcing that, after 11 years running the company, he will become executive chairman in June. His replacement will be Ryan Roslansky, a senior vice president of product at the company who was the first person Weiner hired. Tomer Cohen, another VP of product, gets Roslansky’s role.
