Anne Zehren

CEO, Kaboodle

Anne Zehren was named CEO of Kaboodle, the Web’s largest social shopping site, in August 2010. In this role, she sets the strategic direction and oversees all operations for the company.

Zehren’s career has focused on launching and building profitable media and technology brands. She joined Kaboodle from Common Sense Media, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the media and entertainment lives of kids, where she served as president and COO. During her tenure there, revenues increased 100 percent, unique visits to the site quadrupled and registered website users tripled. She also spearheaded licensing deals with Facebook, Time Warner and Google, among other media and technology companies.

Before joining Common Sense Media, Zehren was president of Current TV, which, under her leadership, experienced significant growth. Prior to that, Zehren was the launch publisher for Teen People, which set an industry record by turning profitable at only 18 months, and held leadership positions at Glamour, Newsweek and NBC, where she was nominated for an Emmy.

Zehren currently serves on the Boards of Common Sense Media, Alpha Sigma Nu (the Jesuit Honor Society), and is a member of YPO. She had also previously served on the board of Wet Seal (WTSLA).
