Do I Need To Be The Company Page Owner To View Analytics?
LinkedIn offers two types of analytics: Personal Profile Analytics and Company Page Analytics.
What Are Personal Profile Analytics?
This analytic overview provides insight for individual user profiles.
Personal LinkedIn metrics include:

You can view analytics for your own LinkedIn profile without needing to run a company page.

LinkedIn audience demographics including location & industry

LinkedIn Updates including performance metrics for individual posts
