ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Prior to founding Rising Team, Jennifer had a wide range of executive experience including leadership roles at Facebook, Google and Yahoo! and president and CEO roles at several startups. The Rising Team proprietary assessments and tools were developed by Jennifer based on her extensive leadership experience across these companies over 20+ years.
As president and COO of Change.org, Jennifer led the company to more than 10x growth, developed a profitable business model, and supported tens of thousands of successful campaigns globally. Prior to Change.org, she was co-founder and CEO of The Dealmap, a location-based deals app that Google acquired in 2011, making her the first woman entrepreneur to sell a company to Google.
She currently serves on the boards of WW, formerly Weight Watchers (NASDAQ: WW), the Change.org Foundation, and Arctic Ice Project and is a lecturer in management at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Her first book, Purposeful, about how each of us can be movement starters, was published by Penguin Portfolio in 2018 and is a Wall Street Journal Bestseller.
