Summary
Jared Cohen is an operations-focused executive and former lawyer who builds high-leverage operating systems that combine people, process, finance, and software to scale mission-driven organizations. With 11+ years of cross-functional leadership, he has driven growth and turnarounds at Kickstarter, Teachers Pay Teachers, and Threes Brewing, and now leads AI-native executive search and advisory at NU Advisory Partners. Jared pairs hands-on product and automation work (examples and code on GitHub) with deep experience running HR, finance, legal, and marketplace integrity functions across startups and mid-stage companies. He co-founded NYCOO to codify and share operational best practices and has a track record of hiring, developing, and structuring teams that deliver outsized results. Not obvious from titles: he began as a practicing corporate litigator and scaled into data and operations leadership by building analyst teams and custom internal tools.
