Joshua Rahn

Joshua Rahn was hired in 2007 as the seventh person in Facebook’s New York office to inspire, evangelize and empower partners to maximize Facebook’s evolving platform and audience base.

Joshua used a unique blend of marketing acumen, performance optimization and relentless passion to help grow the Facebook monetization efforts. He led his team and the New York office during key transformational times such as the launch of newsfeed, the pivot to mobile and cross device measurement and early stages of Machine Learning optimization.

By understanding the nuances of working with people from different backgrounds and the value a diverse and offbeat team holds, Joshua built, managed, and mentored Facebook’s first $100M office, surpassing year-over-year growth 100% for five consecutive years. During his 9 yr tenure he managed the development and implementation of integrated Facebook marketing partnerships as the company scaled from 20 million to 1.5 billion monthly active users.

Joshua is a serial start-up entrepreneur with 2 successful exits prior to his time at Facebook including the sale of his first tech startup to Sony 550 Ventures.

Joshua supports a number of nonprofits including Hudson River Park Friends, The Gun Safety Alliance, and the March for Our Lives team. Most weekends Joshua can be found on the sidelines of his three highly over scheduled kids’ countless soccer, dance and table tennis matches. His love of his family and kids directly impact his golf swing which he is looking forward to eventually working on when they graduate from high school.
