Justin Michael Rosenstein (born May 13, 1983) is an American software programmer and entrepreneur. He is co-founder (along with Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz) and head of product at the collaboration software company Asana.
Rosenstein grew up in San Francisco Bay Area and attended The College Preparatory School in Oakland, CA. He was a successful high school Lincoln–Douglas debater. He matriculated to Stanford University, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics at age 20. As an undergraduate, he served as a member of the Mayfield Fellows Program.
Rosenstein dropped out of a graduate program in computer science at Stanford in 2004 to join Google as a product manager. At Google, Rosenstein led projects in Google's communication and collaboration division. His projects initially included Google Page Creator, the precursor to Google Sites, and a project internally codenamed “Platypus,” which eventually became Google Drive. He also invented and wrote the original prototype for Gmail Chat and many of the features in Google’s rich text editor.
In May 2007, Rosenstein left Google to become an engineering lead at Facebook, working closely with Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz. He was technical lead in charge of Facebook's Pages, the Facebook Like button, and Facebook Beacon. He was compensated with 4,863,335 Class B shares (worth $730 million at $150/share), which he deposited into a trust.
