Jessica Herrin

Jessica grew up in Glendale, California, earned a BA in economics at Stanford, and dropped out of Stanford’s MBA program to co-found WeddingChannel.com, which The Knot acquired in 2006. Three years in marketing at Dell led Jessica to reroute again. She bootstrapped Stella & Dot, a multichannel marketer of jewelry, accessories, and beauty products, and as CEO for 20 years, scaled the business to $300 million in annual revenue. In 2023, Jessica co-founded FLI (Female Longevity Institute) MD with Lynn Jurich. In 2025, she founded Marklo AI, a platform that automates cross-channel marketing to help brands increase revenue and scale efficiently.
