Jen MendelsohnCo Founder

United States - New York, New York

Jen has been described as a force to be reckoned with. A pathologically gregarious individual who has 15+ years of experience in technology sales and business consulting roles. She joined Hudson in 2002 when data was still in its infancy. As technology grew with business communications, so did Jen's cadre of contacts and enterprises. Jen has been a fundamental part of a sales team that has successfully moved technology up-market, repeatedly achieving the #1/#2 sales executive position and always performing in the top percentile. Jen's success comes with a (somewhat) unhealthy competitive streak. Complex sales transactions, commencing with origination, plotting effective strategies, and successful completion are her JAM. Admittedly, she drinks way too much coffee.

After struggling with her child's Dyslexia diagnosis in 2014 (and years-long journey down the education rabbit-hole) Jen partnered with Mara to address and repair material deficiencies in the specialized learning marketplace. Braintrust collaborates with schools/districts and offers academic transparency, metric-driven results, and accountability for stakeholders, implemented in a scalable product.

It should be noted that Jen is Canadian and while she is a hugely proud (downtown) New Yorker every now and then an "eh" will accidentally slip out. No need for any alarm.
