Jennifer Chu

Hi! I'm Jenn Chu. Or Jennifer Chu. Depending on when I may have first met you, you'd get a different name from me, but I go by both. My husband and I live in NYC, and we have a five year old girl who's got big boy energy and loves her some pink.

I've been in tech for much of my professional career, mostly in Head of Growth and Marketing roles. I'm like a Jack of All Trades Master of None, though lately I have been spending most of my time on content and SEO as we build LeHerring. I once started a company that manufactured and sold shoe liners for women who wear shoes without socks. The product was featured on the Today Show, NYTimes and TimeOut Magazine, and my #1 customer was former California AG and now VP Kamala Harris.

These days, I have been really into helping small businesses. Most don't have the basic know-how to market their businesses in an effective and lean way. Small changes can make a big difference in helping owners succeed.
