Jason Citron
Jason is the co-founder and CEO of Discord, a voice, video and text platform that makes it easier and more fun for friends to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games. Prior to co-founding Discord, Jason founded and served as CEO of OpenFeint, the biggest social mobile gaming platform, which sold to GREE in 2011 for $104 million. Jason began his career in game programming, before pursuing his own entrepreneurial ventures in 2008. Both of Jason’s companies began as game studios on a mission to modernize the way people play games inspired by the memories and friendships he created from staying up all night playing Magic: The Gathering, launching too many Blue Shells in Mario Kart, and playing just one more match of Starcraft. Originally from Long Island, NY, he currently resides in the Bay Area with his family. He is a member of the board at Campus and a former member of the Bay Area Leadership Board of the Seneca Family of Agencies.
