David Jay brings a lifetime of experience building fulfilling relationships that drive social change. At 18, David founded AVEN—the world’s first large online community of people identifying on the asexual spectrum. He has since gone on to play a leading role in the movement to reform social media. Through this work, David came to appreciate how the work of forming relationships is both a powerful tool for social change and invisible to many of our most powerful institutions. David has spent a decade developing novel approaches to relational measurement. He regularly advises social movements and political campaigns that want to understand how to create the conditions for relationships to thrive and measure when their efforts have been successful.
