Jocelyn Wyatt

Jocelyn is the former Chief Executive Officer of IDEO.org, the nonprofit design organization that she co-founded in 2011 after leading IDEO’s social innovation practice. As CEO, Jocelyn spent her time sorting out the vision, strategy, funding, and growth plans for IDEO.org. She headed up partner development with foundations, nonprofits, and social enterprises; built networks by speaking widely on how design is changing the social sector; and racked up more miles on the Star Alliance than she cares to admit.

Prior to joining IDEO in 2007, Jocelyn worked in Kenya as an Acumen Fund fellow. Before that, she served as VisionSpring’s interim country director in India, where she helped increase the distribution of low-cost reading glasses to the poor. Before that, she did the training, project management, and business development for Chemonics International, a contractor for USAID. And before that, she was in college: a BA in anthropology from Grinnell College and an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management.
