Jennie Lees
Hi. I’m Jennie.
I am a product storyteller and hacker based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I work for a search engine company you may be familiar with on the world’s most popular mobile platform. Armed with a handful of computer science degrees, I juggle people, decisions and deadlines and occasionally travel the world.
My passions include fitness and education. I am an active Crossfitter, train in Olympic weightlifting and occasionally run half marathons for fun. I’ve also been dabbling in improv comedy for the last 10 years.
Before I moved to Silicon Valley, I founded a startup in Edinburgh focused on my PhD research into natural language processing technology. Funded by 4iP, our most successful venture was FestBuzz.
I’m also a long-term gamer and have worked in several roles in the games industry, as well as playing competitively.
In my copious spare time I hang out with my dog, organise women in technology events, attend hackathons and drink excellent tea.
