Jennifer Siebel Newsom

Jennifer Siebel Newsom is committed to the empowerment of women and girls. She is the writer, director and producer of the celebrated documentary film Miss Representation, which explores how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in influential positions by circulating limited and often disparaging portrayals of women. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011. Jennifer graduated with honors from both Stanford University and Stanford Business School.

She worked in Africa, Latin America, and Europe on assignments with Conservation International, a global environmental organization, where her primary focus was providing micro-enterprise opportunities to women. Upon graduation from business school, she moved to Los Angeles where she performed in numerous films and TV shows (such as In the Valley of Elah, Something’s Gotta Give, Rent, The Nanny Express, Trauma, Life, Mad Men, and Numb3rs). Jennifer formed Girls’ Club Entertainment, LLC as an umbrella entertainment company to develop and produce independent films with strong social, political, and cultural significance, focused primarily on empowering women.

Jennifer has produced three independent films. Jennifer is an honorary board member of the International Museum of Women and is married to former Mayor of San Francisco and current Lieutenant Governor of California, Gavin Newsom. Jennifer and Gavin are the proud parents of Montana Tessa Siebel Newsom (born September 2009) and Hunter Siebel Newsom (born June 2011).
