Jonathan Greenblatt Biography
Jonathan A. Greenblatt is an entrepreneur, social innovator, and the sixth national director and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, an organization dedicated to combating antisemitism, racism, and all forms of hate. Greenblatt holds a Bachelor of Arts from Tufts University and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Before leading the Anti-Defamation League, Greenblatt built a career as a serial entrepreneur and public servant. He co-founded Ethos Brands, the business that launched Ethos Water, a premium bottled water supporting global access to clean water. After Ethos was acquired by Starbucks Coffee Company, Greenblatt served as vice president of global consumer products at Starbucks and joined the board of the Starbucks Foundation. He also founded All for Good, a large database of volunteer opportunities on the internet, which was incubated at Google and later acquired by Points of Light. Greenblatt served in the White House as special assistant to President Barack Obama and director of the Office of Social Innovation. He has taught as an adjunct faculty member at the Anderson School of Management at UCLA and served as a senior fellow at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
As CEO, Greenblatt has modernized the Anti-Defamation League while maintaining its mission to fight the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment for all. Under his leadership, the organization rebooted its Center on Extremism, launched "Never Is Now," an annual convening focused on antisemitism and hate, and created the Center for Technology and Society in Silicon Valley to address online hate and harassment. Greenblatt also developed the Sports Leadership Council to engage athletes, teams, and leagues in confronting bigotry and discrimination, and executed Stop Hate for Profit, a campaign organizing businesses, nonprofits, and policymakers to address racism, antisemitism, and extremism on Facebook.
Greenblatt led the organization in filing a lawsuit against Iran, Syria, and North Korea, holding the countries accountable for providing material support to Hamas. He testified before Congress on combating antisemitism, spearheaded the Campus Antisemitism Report Card to assess university policies, and established a legal division managing hundreds of Title VI civil rights complaints on behalf of Jewish students. Greenblatt is the author of "It Could Happen Here: Why America Is Tipping from Hate to the Unthinkable—And How We Can Stop It."
Greenblatt has been recognized by TIME Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, by NonProfit Times as a Top 50 nonprofit leader, by Recode among the top 100 people in business and technology, and by both Jerusalem Post and Algemeiner for his influence in the global Jewish community. Greenblatt is known for his work on civil rights, extremism, and democracy, bringing experience in entrepreneurship, government, and nonprofit leadership to his roles.
