Jess Lee is CEO and co-founder of Polyvore. Prior to co-founding Polyvore, Lee was a product manager at Google, where she worked on Google Maps and launched features including My Maps and draggable driving directions.
After four years at Google, Lee became addicted to making Polyvore sets and contacted founder Pasha Sadri with a set of product suggestions. After an informal meeting, Jess joined the company. The rest, as they say, is history. Jess has a degree in computer science from Stanford University.
