Background

About Kathryn Minshew

I'm an entrepreneur, author, public speaker, investor, Broadway co-producer, and lover of adventure travel. I most recently spent twelve years as co-Founder & CEO of The Muse from 2011-2023. During that time The Muse grew from 0 to 70+ million annual users, pioneered the concept of values-based job search and was named one of Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World. I'm also an active advisor, angel investor (88% in female founded companies), and an Operating Partner with XFactor Ventures, designed to be the “first check” in female founded startups. My first book, “The New Rules of Work” (Crown Business, April 2017), was a Wall Street Journal national bestseller. I've spoken at MIT and Harvard, contributed to Fortune and the Harvard Business Review, and appeared on The TODAY Show and CNN. Personally, I'm a passionate traveler - 75 countries and counting, avid reader, proud NYC resident, and enthusiastic consumer of snacks. Separately, as part of Nothing Ventured Productions, I'm an investor in or co-producer of 10+ Broadway shows, including Suffs, Proof starring Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, George Clooney's Good Night and Good Luck, Parade (2023 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical), Sunset Boulevard, Cabaret, Romeo+Juliet, Enemy of the People, Water for Elephants, and more. And now, I'm working on what's next. More if you want it at KMinshew.com!
