Bio
Jennifer recently founded reTHINKit PR, a creative storytelling firm focused on building awareness, inspiring action and affecting change for technology companies and organizations defining the future. She is also co-founder of Wicked Flicks Productions, a film/video production company working with companies, organizations and individuals to affect change through original content. The company is in production now on The Chasing Grace Project, a documentary series of six episodes about women in tech. She is also diversity advisor to The Linux Foundation.
Jennifer’s career has been dedicated to telling the stories that have defined a generation of technology developers, from Linux creator Linus Torvalds to the men and women who started Creative Commons and Google’s first I/O Conference. For more than 15 years, Jennifer has been a woman in tech and has been recognized for her storytelling acumen by BusinessInsider, who ranked her among the best PR people in tech for her video storytelling works. She was most recently VP of communications at The Linux Foundation, where she oversaw brand storytelling and team of PR, social media and video production professionals. Prior to that, she was vice president at Page One PR and held posts both in house and at agency in communications. In addition to her BusinessInsider recognition, CIO.com identified her as one of the most influential women in open source.
