Comment: I'm still not sure this meets WP:NPOL, but it definitely needs to be rewritten and any unreliable / primary sources removed. BuySomeApples (talk) 05:04, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: There is not enough independent, significant coverage here to support a Wikipedia article. Interviews are not fully independent. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 16:47, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Phrases like "leading thought leader" are promotional. The list "Board of Directors of Caban Systems ... and Task Human" needs a source/sources (see our rules on requiring sourcing for potentially contentious statements about living persons). Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her)My Talk Page 16:57, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: All statements need sourcing - there are numerous unsourced statements, such as the entire personal section. Also promotional in tone. Greenman (talk) 14:36, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Brynne Kennedy (Brinn-Kennedy; born February 28, 1985) is an American entrepreneur, author, software company CEO, startup policy leader, venture capital investor, and Board director. In 2020, Kennedy ran for US Congress in California's 4th Congressional District, losing in the general election to incumbent Tom McClintock.[1]
Kennedy has founded several companies in the work-mobility space, including Move Guides, the first cloud-based system to help multinational companies manage and move global talent, and Polaris Global Mobility, which later merged into Topia, an HR enterprise software company.[2][3][4]
Kennedy is currently co-founder and managing partner of Los Angeles-based venture capital firm BCP Ventures and sits on the boards of six companies.[5]
Early life and education edit
Kennedy was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
As a Yale University student, Kennedy became an NCAA Division1 collegiate gymnast, four-time NCAA Varsity letter winner, and two-time Ivy League champion before graduating with a degree in History.[6]
In 2014, Kennedy earned an MBA from London Business School.
Congressional candidate/politics edit
In 2020 Kennedy received the Democratic nomination for Congress in California's 4th Congressional District with a platform based on private sector entrepreneurship and bipartisanship, receiving the endorsement of former US President Bill Clinton and Emily's List, among others.[7][8][9] Kennedy's campaign received significant coverage for refusing to accept corporate donations.[10] Kennedy lost the election to incumbent Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), but increased visibility to bipartisan policies for innovation.[11][12] Fortune noted that she would have been the first female tech founder to serve in US Congress.[13]
Kennedy is the founder and CEO of Innovation Nation, a Washington, D.C.-based Political Action Committee endorsing and supporting political candidates who are leaders in innovation policy and startup agendas.[14]
Business ventures edit
In 2012, Kennedy founded and became CEO of Move Guides.[2][15]
After the company expanded to 17 offices worldwide, Kennedy predicted in a 2016 interview with Global Mobility Insider that the global market for human resources mobility management would grow to $200 billion, with a software value of $15 billion, by 2023.[2]
In a November 2016 "Squawk Box" interview on CNBC, Kennedy urged women to take more risks as entrepreneurs and to consider careers in politics to make a difference, noting that "Hillary Clinton inspired a lot of female leaders and despite not becoming president, she opened up a new dialogue."[16]
in 2017 as CEO, Kennedy lead Move Guides' acquisition of Teleport and Polaris Global Mobility, merging the two companies into the current HR enterprise software company, Topia Mobility.[17][18] Kennedy also launched a philanthropic initiative, Mobility4All, which provides a portion of revenue and employee time to assist individuals fleeing poverty and conflict in relocating.[19][20]
Kennedy co-founded BCP Ventures, with venture capitalist Roger Lang to invest in transformational technologies that reinvent foundational industries. In a Hub Culture television interview at the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Kennedy said BCP would be focused on disruptive technologies in food systems, sustainable energy, smart infrastructure and wellness, responding to challenges like food security, emissions reduction, human and resource consumption through unique innovations and decentralization, leading to "clean energy transition" and a path to net zero by 2050" that she said would require "a complete transformation of our global energy supply and technology, a total rethinking of our geopolitical landscape and roughly $100 trillion in investment over the next three decades."[21]
Kennedy sits on the Board of Directors of Caban Systems, Greyscale AI, Elite Measurement, Pratexo, Ryp Labs, Aquaprawnics, and Task Human.[22]
Awards edit
Kennedy won a 2017 Entrepreneur of the Year for the Women in IT Awards,[23] Women of the Future Awards,[24] London Business School’s Distinguished Entrepreneur Award and Management Today’s 35 Under 35.[25] In 2017, Kennedy was named a Workforce Game Changer,[26] one of 25 people changing the HR industry, and recognized with the Meritorious Service Award from the global mobility industry.[27]
Writing edit
Kennedy authored "Flat, Fluid, and Fast: Harness the Talent Mobility Revolution to Drive Employee Engagement, Accelerate Innovation, and Unleash Growth" (McGraw Hill, 2019), which focuses on how companies and policy makers can more effectively navigate remote and distributed work.[28]
