Jane Chen
Jane Marie Chen (born December 5, 1978) is the co-founder of Embrace, a social enterprise startup that aims to help the 20 million premature and low birth-weight babies born every year, through a low-cost infant warmer. Currently, Chen serves as Chief Business Officer of Embrace Innovations, which has a mission to design and bring to market healthcare technologies for the developing world, starting with the infant warmer.

The Embrace infant warmer is estimated to have helped over 50,000 babies to date. Chen served as the first Chief Executive Officer of Embrace, the non-profit arm of the organization, before stepping into the CEO role for Embrace Innovations, the for-profit social enterprise that was spun off in 2012. She is now the Chief Business Officer at Embrace Innovations.
