Jenny Rae Le Roux is an accomplished business owner, author, and strategic advisor with a B.A. in Economics and an MBA from the Ivy League’s Columbia Business School. After launching her career advising billion-dollar companies and government organizations at Bain Consulting, she co-built companies in the energy and financial services industries before purchasing a private tech-enabled services company. She is a frequent presenter at Harvard Business School, the Wharton School of Business, and over 60 other top institutions, and she has been quoted in Forbes, Business Insider, and other business publications.
Jenny Rae is a businesswoman who runs organizations where results matter. She uses data to identify problems correctly and build workable solutions. She grew startups into global businesses by shrinking costs and bringing value to the marketplace. And she did it all while raising a family. Her children attend a Spanish language immersion school, and the family operates a hobby ranch near Redding.
One year ago, in the midst of the pandemic, she said, “Someone should do something.” She modeled her own COVID plan using publicly available data and hosted conversations about the future of public policy. After meeting with groups around California, she recognized major gaps in both policy and process. Jenny Rae holds a deep conviction that successful private sector leaders should serve the public through advocacy and in elected office.
As the state’s top executive, she’ll do what she’s always done: follow the data to common sense solutions to free Californians to live, work, and breathe. As an outsider, she is beholden only to the people of California. As a working Californian, she won’t ask you to do anything she’s not willing to do. And as a mom, she believes that California’s kids deserve better: they deserve a free and prosperous future in California.
