Jen Wong is Reddit’s Chief Operating Officer, overseeing business strategy and related teams. Only four years into her tenure as COO, she has helped lead the growth of Reddit into a profitable business by scaling ad revenue to well over $100 million. Her leadership goes beyond growing the business; she is also passionate about Reddit’s company goal that’s just as important as revenue: diversity and inclusion. In addition, Jen is viewed as an expert in the digital landscape having held leadership positions at Time, Inc.; PopSugar; and AOL.
In a fireside chat format, Jen Wong will discuss her leadership journey, advice for business students, the organizational culture at Reddit, and her experience as an LGBTQ+ leader. There will be time at the end for questions from the audience.
This talk, co-sponsored by Q@Haas, is hosted as part of the week-long Coming Out Week, taking place September 18-22. Events during Coming Out Week will feature a sharing of LGBTQ+ experiences and stories with the broader Haas community and a welcoming of Q-identifying Haas community members and allies to participate, engage and be present. Students can register for additional Coming Out Week events through Campus Groups.
