Jenna Arnold is the Chief Impact Officer at an impact venture fund, Rethink Capital Partners, helping shape the fund’s plan for meaningful and measurable impact across education, community, food, and women-led companies. She comes to this work as an entrepreneur and activist — enthusiastic about the possibilities to do well and do good within such ecosystems.
ORGANIZE launched the country’s first central organ donor registry, was awarded an Innovator in Residence position in the Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services beginning in 2015, and co-hosted the White House Organ Donation Summit in 2016. Since then, an Executive Order has been signed and legislation proposed to increase the number of life-saving, transplantable organs.
For her work at ORGANIZE, Jenna was named one of Inc.’s “20 Most Disruptive Innovators.” The New York Times called ORGANIZE one of the “Biggest Ideas in Social Change,” and the organization has been featured by FastCompany, ESPN, Slate, SELF, and UpWorthy, and regularly quoted in outlets such as the Washington Post and the Associated Press.
Previously, Arnold was the Executive Producer and Creator of one of MTV’s hit TV shows, ‘Exiled!‘ and was the youngest American to work at the United Nations where she created multi-platform programming and impact evaluation framework. Jenna has taught in 13 countries with a laser focus on citizenship education and has authored 15 different curricula.
She sits on the board of Women’s March Global and the African Mission Healthcare Foundation and lives in New York with her husband and two young children, who are anti-sleep.
Arnold published a groundbreaking book, Raising Our Hands, on the research she has been conducting around the state of the American woman. Inside, she asks white women to have a radical and honest conversation with themselves about race, identity, privilege, and power — and how they can use their influence to take an active role in creating a better future. Additionally, Arnold is launching a Back to Basics tour to bring civic engagement back to small towns across the U.S.
