Jenna Langer's Summary
At some point living the dream turned into working non-stop for a startup in San Francisco, and I love every minute of it. Starting as the second employee building the Livefyre community from the ground up, I have touched all aspects of the business as we continue to grow and enhance our real-time socially connected conversation engine.
My Internet days began when I was 8 when I wrote a short story, "Trapped in the World Wide Web." From there I always used the latest technology, and in college I learned the wonderful world of social media. I concentrated my studies on how people communication using technology and created opportunities for myself to be immersed in the field.
I'm motivated and hands-on, and I jump right in and love fast-paced environments where I learn on the job. The best part of what I do is meeting interesting people who are as passionate about the internet and conversations as I am.
