LinkedIn allows you to add multiple email addresses to your profile, which can be helpful if you have multiple businesses or need individuals to contact you in different ways depending on their needs.

However, LinkedIn requires that you designate one email address as your primary email. In order to change your primary email, you’ll have to update your contact info in LinkedIn’s settings.
