Jennifer Sey is an American author, filmmaker, business executive, and retired National Champion gymnast.
She was a seven-time member of the U.S. Women's National Team and the 1986 U.S. Women's All-Around National Champion. She was the first gymnast to speak out about the abuses in the sport in her 2008 memoir, “Chalked Up." The book became a New York Times e-book best seller in 2016.
Sey went on to produce the 2020 Emmy-award winning documentary film, “Athlete A” on Netflix, exposing the crimes of Larry Nassar and the abuse of athletes rampant in the Olympic movement.
Sey began working at Levi Strauss & Co. in 1999, rising to chief marketing officer and then Brand President. She was twice named to Forbes’ Most Influential Chief Marketing Officer list in 2019 and 2020.
In 2020, she was the only C-suite executive to speak out against covid lockdowns and school closures. Her second book "Levi’s Unbuttoned" details the harrowing two years of pushing back against the mainstream narrative to stand up for children.
She resigned from Levi’s in 2022 and is now the founder and CEO of her own clothing brand, XX-XY Athletics – the only athletic brand to stand up for women’s sports and female athletes.
