Henrique Saboia
Senior Passenger Growth Manager, Lyft
Henrique works to grow the number of passengers using Lyft to get around. In 2017, he helped start #RoundUpAndDonate, where Lyft passengers can round up their ride fares to the nearest dollar with the difference going to a nonprofit of their choice. While the average donation is a few dollars a month per Lyft passenger, collectively, the program is on track to collect millions of dollars in donations this year.
