Check out the entire video interview with Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bernice King here. This series of posts features select interviews, speeches and presentations held as part of the LinkedIn Speaker Series. The interview below was held at our Mountain View campus last week, during the visit of Martin Luther King III.
In 1964, my Dad met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was chosen, in fact, to drive Dr. King to the airport after a rousing sermon in St. Louis. This happened just one day before the announcement that the iconic leader was to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Such encounters with history are rare, so I was thrilled to learn, just last week, that our CEO Jeff Weiner would have an opportunity to interview Dr. King’s son and daughter during their tour of Silicon Valley.

At LinkedIn, we’ve been so inspired by the It Gets Better Project and are very proud to add our employees’ voices into the conversation. Amidst our 80 million members are countless examples of people who have proven that it truly does get better. Sexual orientation has no impact on someone’s ability to contribute to an organization. What we’ve learned through this campaign is that it is definitely worth it to hang on through challenging periods in order to discover how your personal experiences can contribute to the world. Here are a few of our employees who did just that. And, we are so glad they did.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal ran an article on the hiring spree in the Tech Sector. And while articles about job growth always catch my attention, this one was particularly relevant. As part of the Tech Sector, LinkedIn is not just a catalyst for job seekers but also a potential home.
This year, we’re expanding our Engineering, Analytics and Sales teams and will continue to round out our Product and Marketing teams, probably growing from 600 employees today to over 800 by the end of the year.
