Today’s spotlight: Jenny Poon

Title: Founder and CEO, CO+HOOTS

Background: Poon is an entrepreneur, founder of CO+HOOTS and chair of CO+HOOTS Foundation. An award-winning designer and strategist, she works tirelessly to develop local equity and innovation through co-working.

Lesson learned: “One of the biggest mistakes I made for far too long was not valuing my worth. I spent years not realizing the value I bring to the table. Once I began speaking up and demanding fair treatment, I realized life progressively became easier.”

Surprising fact: “I am an extreme introvert — and I can pair any food with ranch.”
