Previously, he served as SVP of Engineering at VideoAmp (scaling developer teams and processes) and CTO at Sketchy (redesigning architecture and CI systems). At Videate, he blends this dual focus—people-driven engineering leadership and hands-on technical innovation—to pioneer the future of AI-powered video automation.

Jenny is a seasoned sales leader with a proven track record of bringing transformative products to market. After co-founding Metric Theory, an award-winning digital marketing agency acquired by Media.Monks in 2019, she joined Videate as VP of Sales - reuniting with CEO Ryan Arnett, her former mentor from Meltwater.

Throughout her career, she's operated by one principle: only champion products that deliver measurable impact. At Videate, she's leading the charge to solve what she calls "the most persistent pain point in video production" with technology she believes is truly revolutionary.

When not behind the computer, Jenny can be found catching waves on her surfboard in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur or cruising in her 1965 Ford Fairlane in her hometown of Austin, TX. An avid traveler, she has split her time between Mexico, Norway, Austin and Crested Butte, Colorado.
