Tiffany Chu is a designer, planner and the CEO and co-founder of Remix. She and her team work with 340+ cities around the world to plan their mobility future. She has been named in Forbes' 30 Under 30, LinkedIn's Next Wave of Leaders Under 35, Curbed’s Young Guns, and has spoken at SXSW, Helsinki Design Week, the New York Times Cities for Tomorrow Conference, and more.
Tiffany serves as a commissioner of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, and sits on the city’s Congestion Pricing Policy Advisory Committee. Previously, Tiffany was a fellow at Code for America, the first UX hire at Zipcar, and is an alum of Y Combinator. Tiffany has a background in architecture and urban planning from MIT. When not at work, Tiffany enjoys yoga, bike riding, ceramics, spending time with family and friends, and hiking with her dog. She hopes to never own a car.
Tiffany has many strengths, but the one that stands out to me is her thoughtfulness. Tiffany is a first-time CEO who took the reins of Remix in December 2019. She only had one quarter of “business as usual” before COVID-19 hit to ramp up to her new responsibilities – but she’s been handling this trial by fire with aplomb. She was forced to make several difficult choices around the decrease in revenue we were seeing from our customers and prospects (cities and transit agencies), who were on the frontlines of the pandemic. She worked with Finance to implement new strategies that protected our business but also prioritized the wellbeing of our team and customers (e.g., accelerated a new product launch to help local governments with pandemic response planning, avoided layoffs through steep cost saving measures, etc).
