Asana’s CEO is Retiring, But Don’t Worry—We Made Him a Task Board for That

After nearly 17 years of checking off tasks, color-coding projects, and making sure everyone on his team hit those OKRs, Asana co-founder and CEO Dustin Moskovitz has finally decided it’s time to mark one last task complete: retiring from the top job.

But don’t worry! He’s still sticking around as Chair, where he’ll be able to focus on Asana’s AI strategy. Because if there's one thing tech billionaires love more than optimizing workflows, it’s optimizing workflows with AI.

While Asana embarks on its Board-led quest to find a new CEO who can finally make it profitable, Moskovitz will be stepping back from the daily grind to dedicate more time to philanthropy. Of course, he’ll need a robust work management tool to keep track of all his impactful to-dos—luckily, Asana is trusted by over 85% of Fortune 500 companies and retired tech founders who just can’t let go.

So how will Moskovitz structure his post-CEO days? Here’s SiliconSnark's suggested Asana board for maximum retirement productivity:

Project: Dustin's Retirement Goals

🔹 Milestone: Sleep In Past 5 AM (Recurring task, but will need reminders)
🔹 Task: Avoid Micromanaging the New CEO (Mark as low priority, set to "do not repeat")
🔹 Task: Think Deeply About AI and the Future of Work (Assign to self, add collaborators: Open Philanthropy, AI thought leaders, existential dread)
🔹 Task: Actually Relax (Deadline: TBD, subtasks: "Figure out what relaxing is")

With AI-powered automation, Dustin won’t even have to lift a finger—his personalized Asana workflow will gently remind him when it’s time to donate another billion dollars or attend yet another panel on the impact of AI on humanity.

And while the board searches for his replacement, one question lingers: How will Asana function without the guy who spent nearly two decades making sure everyone else functioned? Maybe Asana should create a task for that one, too.
