Allison Jones is a Brooklyn-girl, new to the Bay Area, who is passionate about creating a world where Black and Latinx people thrive and shine. In a time when many people want to keep their heads down, Allison’s job as Code2040’s Director of Marketing and Communications is to inspire them to stand up. She does this by creating story-driven, data-rich content and campaigns to paint a vibrant, equitable future that can only come to fruition if everyone takes collective responsibility towards creating it. Her passion for change has allowed her to spend nearly 10 years leading successful marketing initiatives---from launching a new publication to overseeing the development of an app---at innovative, high-impact nonprofits. She’s thrilled to work at the intersection of tech, storytelling, and change. When not working, you can find her sharing celebrity gossip with friends, making a mess in her kitchen, or exploring her new community in Berkeley.
