Jared Chung

I'm a startup founder and TEDx organizer. I'm building CareerVillage, an Education Technology social venture helping students prepare for future careers on a massive scale. CareerVillage conducts R&D on new ways to leverage technology to give students access to information, mentorship, experience, and training in soft skills.

I always do my best to draw attention to the inspirational behavior I see in others, so in my spare time I am a Director at TEDxCambridge.

I was previously a consultant with McKinsey & Company, where I managed teams on projects in a wide range of industries across a dozen countries over a 6 year period. In addition to my client work at McKinsey, I built cross-functional joint ventures, led training seminars, and led pro-bono consulting projects. In 2011, I founded an online security startup called Starfish which built browser applications for people to use online.
