Jenn Lim - Chief Happiness Officer (CHO)
Jenn Lim, is the CEO and CHO (Chief Happiness Officer ) of Delivering Happiness, a company she and Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos.com) co-founded to inspire science-based happiness, passion and purpose at work, home and in everyday life.
Jenn has been a consultant with Zappos from its start-up days in 2003 to the several billion-dollar business it is today.

- Does having a higher purpose matter for your organization?

A Mentor Experience
“I ran into one of the most successful CEOs in America walking down the street … He said ‘I’m going to mentor you.’"
