About Steve Motzenbecker
Fifteen years building design organizations that shape large-scale consumer ecosystems, at LinkedIn, TikTok, and Meta. I lead at the intersection of product strategy, organizational design, and execution: building teams that define direction and ship it. My work spans discovery and commerce products used by hundreds of millions of people — LinkedIn Feed, TikTok Shop, Instagram Explore and Shopping, and Facebook News & Publishing. I specialize in raising the bar on craft and systems thinking inside complex, metrics-driven products, while driving cross-functional alignment with product and engineering leadership. I\'ve built and led design organizations at scale—managing both ICs and managers—and developed design talent across every level. What I care about most: clarity of strategy, strong design culture, and helping organizations move from incremental optimization to something that actually lasts.
