Jesse Dylan is a pioneer in the growing movement to connect human-centered design principles with the transformative knowledge-creation, knowledge-gathering, and knowledge-sharing power of the Internet to create communities of innovation, empowerment, and compassion in healthcare and other social arenas. Through his not-for-profit, Lybba, Jesse is developing the first true platform for open-source healthcare by connecting research, clinical, and patient communities and empowering them through social networks, data visualization, transparency, and media to work together to transform research, clinical care, and patient experience. In addition to his work with Lybba, Jesse promotes the values of openness and transparency for the advancement of scientific discovery and the public good as a fellow at Science Commons and as a board member of Public Knowledge.
Jesse is a filmmaker, and the creative director and CEO of Wondros, a full-service production company focusing on corporate social responsibility and social media. Wondros tells the stories behind some of the most innovative and cutting-edge people and projects in the world, translating their powerful and changemaking ideas into content that engages and catalyzes action. Recently, Jesse created the iParticipate campaign for the Entertainment Industry Foundation, tying together film, print, and social media in the service of inspiring volunteerism across the United States. He directed the public service announcements, including a print campaign, for Stand up to Cancer (SU2C.org), an organization committed to fostering collaboration in cancer research. He also directed a film for The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) about the newly completed Large Hadron Collider.
