Janet Jensen is the Founder and CEO of The Jensen Project, where she combines decades of experience in business, advocacy, and innovation with a lifelong commitment to supporting survivors of sexual violence and reducing exploitation. Throughout her career, Janet has taken an active role against sexual and domestic violence at both the local and national levels, pioneering systemic changes that have paved the way for critical victim support. 

That same passion for innovation and long-term impact has shaped her entrepreneurial journey too. Janet values entrepreneurship and has launched multiple businesses, foundations, and social initiatives throughout her career. As a survivor and longtime advocate as well, she firmly believes in the Survivor Model, an approach centered on accountability for perpetrators while creating pathways, resources, and long-term support for survivors. 

Through Janet’s leadership, The Jensen Project has helped elevate national conversations around survivor-centered policy, prevention, and systems change through strategic partnerships, educational initiatives, and projects such as The Right Track documentary. Most recently, Janet partnered with the University of New Haven to establish the Jensen Community Center for Applied Justice, expanding efforts around research, training, innovation, and survivor-centered solutions to combat human trafficking and sexual violence.
