Jessica Shortall is a thirty-something working mother of two, with a career dedicated to the intersection of business and doing good. She started her adult life as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Uzbekistan (more vodka drinking than you would expect from a Muslim country), and has worked in non-profit and for-profit worlds in the U.S. and internationally. For five years, she was the first Director of Giving for TOMS Shoes, a job that had her literally circumnavigating the globe while also having, and attempting to breastfeed, her two small children.

Before she had children, Jessica enjoyed travel, yoga, cooking, and wine. Today, her interests include just keeping it together, and also wine.
