Jenn Lim is the CEO and Chief Happiness Officer of Delivering Happiness, a company she and Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, co-created to inspire happiness in work, community and everyday life.
In 2005, she created the first Culture Book for Zappos – now on its 7th edition – and has produced them ever since. In 2009, Zappos was sold to Amazon.com in a deal valued at $1.2 billion on the day of closing, and in 2011, Zappos was #6 on Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list. The Culture Book has become a global symbol of how companies can successfully create cultures based on happiness and be profitable at the same time.
In 2010, Lim led the launch and management of Hsieh’s first book, Delivering Happiness, which sold over 220,000 copies internationally and hit Number 1 on numerous bestsellers list, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal andUSA Today. It was voted one of the best business books in 2010 by NPR, Inc. magazine and the Wall Street Journal, remained on the New York Times list for 27 weeks and has been published in over 17 countries/languages because of her efforts.
The book launch was followed by a 23-city bus tour to talk to people inspired by "Delivering Happiness" and hear firsthand how they were making happiness a priority in their own lives. With the success of the Culture Book and Delivering Happiness, she’s spoken at companies, universities and organizations such as Twitter, Pixar, Stanford, UCLA, the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, NAWBO and the American Marketing Association. Today, Lim is dedicated to growing the company and social venture of Delivering Happiness, helping people, organizations and businesses discover the power of happiness to change lives, businesses and communities.
