Jessica Ashooh

Jessica Ashooh leads policy at Reddit, serving as Director and later Vice President of Policy, overseeing the company's technology policy and trust-and-safety policy functions. Before Reddit, she was Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council's bipartisan Middle East Strategy Task Force and earlier worked as a senior analyst in the United Arab Emirates Foreign Ministry's Policy Planning Department. She holds a doctorate in international relations from Oxford as a Marshall Scholar and an undergraduate degree from Brown University. Her hire from a foreign-policy think tank drew some commentary connecting it to debates over Reddit's content policy, though such framing is largely opinion rather than established fact.
