Jan Seale

Jan Seale is the CEO and co-founder of Out of Office, a Chicago-based travel app that turns recommendations from your own friends and trusted circle into bookable trips across thousands of cities. A Cornell grad who spent years at Gap, Trunk Club, and Havenly before building her own company, she launched a travel startup in the middle of a global pandemic - and became one of the first 100 Black women in the United States to raise more than a million dollars in venture capital. She runs on gratitude, literally: she starts every morning by naming ten things she is grateful for.
