Jen Carter is the Global Head of Technology at Google.org, Google’s philanthropic arm. She has been at Google for over 15 years and her work is focused on harnessing the power of technology to accelerate the impact of nonprofits & civic entities around the world. As one example, she worked with The Trevor Project to build a generative AI-powered “Crisis Contact Simulator” that helps train counselors to support LGBTQ+ youth in crisis, a product that was subsequently named one of TIME’s 100 best inventions of the year. More broadly, she has supported ERGs in advocating for increased grant funding and skills-based volunteering projects for LGBTQ+ serving nonprofits, leading to collaborations with organizations like Outright International and the Marsha P. Johnson Institute. Outside of work, Jen serves as Co-President on the Board of Directors at The Women’s Building and was recently appointed to the Executive Advisory Board of Lesbians Who Tech.
