Jennifer Sey

Jennifer Sey is an American author, filmmaker, business executive and retired artistic gymnast. She was the 1986 USA Gymnastics National Champion, and a 7-time member of the U.S. Women's National Team. Her first memoir, “Chalked Up,” was released in 2008 and detailed the coaching cruelty inflicted on children in the sport of gymnastics. Sey also produced the 2020 Emmy award-winning documentary film, “Athlete A,” which connected the crimes of Larry Nassar to systemic abuses in the Olympic movement. Sey began working at Levi Strauss & Co. in 1999 as a marketing assistant, rising to Chief Marketing Officer and then Brand President until, in January 2022, she was asked to leave the company because of her vocal opposition to the extended closure of San Francisco's public schools during the covid pandemic. Sey rejected a million-dollar severance package, so that she could be free to tell her story. She does so in her second memoir, "Levi's Unbuttoned." She is a mother of four, and now resides in Denver with her family.
