Jenni Lloyd is responsible for leading Nesta's ShareLab programme. ShareLab explores how collaborative digital platforms, like those that underpin commercial giants like Uber and Airbnb, can be used to deliver social impact.
Prior to Nesta, Jenni worked on client problems as a consultant, and also brought her own ideas to life through independent projects. Her belief is that business can and should be a force for positive change in the world - and that people connected together with a meaningful purpose can make anything happen.
She was a director of the democratically-run consultancy NixonMcInnes, a pioneer of early social media marketing which went on to specialise in transforming how major corporations, charities and government departments behave in response to the social web. While she was there she co-founded the annual Meaning Conference which explores the power of business as a transformative force for good in the 21st Century.
Jenni lives in and is a fierce advocate for Brighton, believing it to be a city where crazy ideas can be made real. She's proud to be Chair of the Brighton Digital Festival, a trustee of the Royal Pavilion and Museums Foundation and to support Brighton's creative digital business community as a board member of Wired Sussex.
