Polyvore - "Polyvore was envisioned as a product and service by Pasha Sadri in August 2006 while he and his wife were remodelling their house and were looking to create digital mood boards to help with their decorating choices.[12][31] He was soon joined by Jianing Hu and Guangwei Yuen, two software engineers he had met while they all worked at Yahoo, and the trio launched of the first version of the website in 2007.[5][32]

In its first year of creation, Jess Lee, a product manager at Google and an early Polyvore fan and user, emailed Sadri with a set of product suggestions,[31] and, as Sadri explained in 2013: "The email was unlike any feedback we’d ever gotten … It was a two-page-long analysis, detailing 'this is broken, we can fix it this way.'"[32] In a July 2013 feature in Wired, Lee described herself as an "obsessive user" prior to her recruitment, and described her interest and motivation: “Influencers in fashion right now are a cliquey club in New York that’s very hard to get into,” making it hard for others to shape the trends.[13] Lee joined the company within nine months of her first visit, would rise through the ranks to become CEO,[31] and is now listed as a founder of the company.[14] Lee played a role in attracting its eventual buyer, Yahoo, as she had business relations with the company's then CEO, Marissa Mayer, who had recruited her during her period at Google.[28]

At the time of its acquisition, Lee was listed as Co-Founder and CEO, Pasha Sadri as Co-Founder and Director, Arnie Gullov-Singh as COO, and Guangwei Yuan and Jianing Hu as Co-Founders.[33]"

Jess Lee - "Jess Lee lived in Hong Kong until the age of 17, when she moved to California to pursue a bachelor's degree in computer science at Stanford University,[4] though she had initially been interested in attending art school.[5] She currently resides in Mountain View, California.[4]

 

In 2004, Lee was recruited into Google's associate product manager (APM) program,[4][6] which had been founded and was then still led by Marissa Mayer.[7] Lee started work on Google's shopping engine Froogle[6] before becoming product manager of Google Maps.[4] There she worked with a team of five engineers to create My Maps, a project that allowed users to create maps of their own.[6]

She joined Polyvore as a product manager in 2008 after providing co-founder Pasha Sadri with feedback on issues with the website.[8] Lee initially wrote code for Polyvore but later started to handle social media, hiring, and finding new locations for the office.[4] Her role expanded to honorary co-founder in 2010 and she was promoted to CEO in 2012.[6] Lee then guided the company to cut down on features such as the "Ask" section and opened another office in New York City.[6]

In 2016, she joined Sequoia Capital as an investing partner,[9] becoming the venture capital firm's first female partner in the U.S. in 44 years of operation.[10] Hired at age 33, Lee is also one of Sequoia's youngest partners.[11]

Tim Armstrong - "At AOL, Armstrong shifted its focus towards digital journalism. Armstrong cofounded the local news website Patch Media with Jon Brod, which now belongs to AOL. Armstrong's efforts to downsize the company and control costs and turn the company around has been dubbed as "Project Everest" by economic commentators. Under Armstrong, AOL has established Seed, a journalism and engineering system based on the concept that editors can make decisions on what to write about by compiling data and algorithms from leading search engines and websites, and acquired the digital media property The Huffington Post in 2011. In the 2010s, Armstrong has overseen a number of purchases of platforms for AOL, including the technology news portal TechCrunch, Gravity, Adapt.tv and Millennial Media. In May 2015, when Verizon Communications acquired AOL for $4.4 billion, Armstrong remained in his position as CEO."
