Currently, Emily's working with an amazing team at Joon to support the mental health needs of teens and young adults. To achieve Joon's broad and important mission they need to continually invest in their team. She believes all companies are just groups of people and the best companies are the best people organizations.
Joon was born when there was an observation that there was a growing crisis, as the surgeon general called it an epidemic, around deteriorating mental health among teens and young adults. My dad would often say a good measure of society is how well we take care of our most vulnerable, and we are not doing a good job right now.
Emily Pesce, CEO of Joon, joined the company in 2022 after more than two years at Nerdy.
