Jennifer Stojkovic Biography

Jennifer Stojkovic is a leader in food technology, venture capital, and sustainability, recognized for her work at the intersection of technology, food innovation, and women's leadership. Stojkovic began her career as a Silicon Valley lobbyist, representing major technology companies such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, Airbnb, and Y Combinator in regulatory affairs. Her experience in policy and industry standards provided her with a comprehensive understanding of innovation and technology ecosystems.

Stojkovic leveraged her expertise to launch a "Future of Food" partnership series, connecting CEOs and founders from established technology brands with emerging leaders in the food technology sector. This initiative reflected her commitment to advancing sustainable food systems and fostering collaboration between technology and food innovation.

Recognizing the challenges faced by female founders in food technology, Stojkovic founded the Vegan Women Summit (VWS), an events and media organization dedicated to supporting women leaders in the plant-based and alternative protein industries. VWS has expanded from an initial gathering of 250 participants to a global network of more than 100,000 women professionals across six continents. The organization produces the Vegan Women Summit conference, VWS Pathfinder pitch competition for women founders, and VWS Connect, a food technology job networking series.

Stojkovic is the author of the bestseller "The Future of Food Is Female," the first book to focus on women in alternative protein. The book features interviews with industry leaders such as Heather Mills, Miyoko Schinner, and Pinky Cole, and explores the contributions of women to the evolution of sustainable food systems.

As a co-founder of Joyful Ventures, a climate innovation fund focused on food technology and sustainable proteins, Stojkovic has contributed to the growth of plant-based and cultivated protein startups. Joyful Ventures is recognized as the first plant-based fund to serve as an Official Nominator for The Earthshot Prize.

Stojkovic has been featured on Good Morning America, Fortune, and Fast Company, and is a frequent speaker at events including SXSW, the United Nations, Dreamforce, and Harvard. She has contributed to Rolling Stone and appeared in national outlets such as the Washington Post, Bloomberg, and Politico. Stojkovic received the Alumni Achievement Award from Toronto Metropolitan University. Her work continues to influence the fields of food technology, sustainability, and women's leadership, with a content platform that reaches a global audience.

Jennifer Stojkovic Speaking Topics

  • WHY NOT ME?™

    Success doesn't go to the most credentialed. It goes to the ones who kept showing up when no one was watching.

    In this flagship keynote, WHY NOT ME?™, venture capitalist and LinkedIn Top Voice Jenny Stojkovic shares how she went from a small-town Canadian kid with no connections to raising a $23 million VC fund as one of the youngest women GPs in the industry, building a platform of over 250,000 followers along the way. She breaks down how to turn adversity into authority, develop a professional voice that cuts through the noise, and position yourself as a leader in your industry before anyone gives you permission.

    This isn't about faking confidence or waiting for the right moment. It's about adopting the WHY NOT ME?™ mindset. Deciding you belong in the room and proving it with every post, pitch, and conversation. Because Jenny didn't wait for a seat at the table. She built her own. And she'll show you how to do the same.

    Who this keynote is for:

    • Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies ready to unlock visibility and leadership at every level
    • High-growth startups and scale-ups where standing out is the difference between getting ahead and getting lost
    • Tech, AI, FinTech, and innovation-driven organizations building cultures of bold, visible leadership
    • Companies undergoing transformation or rapid change who need their teams to own their voice and lead from where they are

  • LEADERSHIP THAT OUTLASTS YOU

    You’ve climbed the ladder. You’ve earned the influence. But real leadership isn’t just about your title, it’s about what you create for those coming up behind you.

    In this keynote, venture capitalist and leadership expert Jenny challenges senior leaders to think beyond their own success, and focus on what they’re passing on. She shares how to teach the WHY NOT ME?™ mindset to the next generation of leaders, helping you build teams that are bold, resilient, and built to lead long after you’re out of the room. This isn’t just about managing people, it’s about multiplying potential. Because the most impactful leaders don’t just grow companies. They grow other leaders.

    Who this keynote is for:

    • Leadership offsites, succession programs, and executive retreats focused on long-term impact, not just next-quarter goals
    • People managers who want to turn high performers into confident, next-level leaders
    • Organizations navigating fast growth, restructuring, or generational leadership transitions
