In addition to Fortune, Roth has worked with Wired and Condé Nast Portfolio, and he told Jeff Bercovici of ForbesMixed Media that his work on the Fortune 500+ Web app led to meeting many LinkedIn staffers who are now his co-workers.

Roth will initially focus on LinkedIn Today, which allows users to sort news by connections, industry, and the overall network, as well as listing content their connections are reading.
