Gwyn (he/them) is the Director of CX at Meetup, an app that is dedicated to helping people come together around common interests. Gwyn spends a lot of time thinking about and learning about philosophy, cultural criticism, history, capitalism and white-bodied supremacy and the impact it has on the landscape of our reality and culture. He is interested in understanding the experiences of others as a gateway to building bridges for connection and support. Prioritizing self care, rest, sanity and physical and mental wellness is something Gwyn seeks to invite into all spheres - whether at work with his team, at home with his wife and kiddo, or with himself and his community of friends and family. “Progress not perfection” is a creed he lives by, to seek to do better and participate in acts of learning and unlearning and create safe spaces for those around him (including himself). Gwyn is very proud to be Trans and Queer and humbled and privileged to share his experience with others who are interested in learning about it.
