Jenn Houser
Digital Strategist, Product Entrepreneur, Fly Fisher
Jenn is the founder of DoubleHaul, a product entrepreneur at heart who felt the lure of digital early on.
She’s got an MIT MBA and has built digital products for leading brands such as National Geographic, Chicago Public Media, Viacom, Time Inc, and more. She earned her stripes on the startup frontier, founding five companies and raising $40M+ from VCs and angels. Her last startup was acquired by HP Snapfish.
Through these experiences, Jenn learned how to build companies and products the “right” way – fast, efficient, iterative – and always with the goal of creating value for both the business and its customers. She’s collaborative by nature, and has developed a network of trusted partners who “get it”. She’s curious and feels nerdy-excited when solving problems and exploring new technologies.
An expert in digital strategy and product design, Jenn guides senior executives through complex digital situations and new technologies to create engaging consumer products that achieve business goals.
When she’s not in the virtual office, Jenn enjoys fly fishing off-the-grid as much as possible.
DoubleHaul has helped maximize digital goals for many companies
— large and small, category leaders and upstarts —
in industries including media, entertainment, health, fitness and finance.
