Jen Wong

Chief Operating Officer, Reddit

Search every verified Jen Wong interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Jen Wong, Reddit's Chief Operating Officer, participated in the company's Q2 2026 earnings call in August 2026, where she addressed investor concerns about user growth. She stated that direct app users are "worth multiples more than the search referral traffic" and that Reddit is "not building Reddit for that drive-by traffic" but rather for direct usage. Wong attributed consistent revenue growth to the company's focus on direct, repeat users and noted progress in conversion and retention efforts, independent of broader search ecosystem volatility. In a June 2026 podcast interview recorded at Cannes Lions, Wong discussed Reddit's approach to advertising and product promotion on the platform, stating that the general rule on Reddit is to "always add value." She also reflected on her career, saying she did not dream of being a business leader and that for most people, life is "a journey of discovery and reinvention." During the Q2 2026 earnings call, Wong also commented on advertiser sentiment, saying the company's message is "resonating with advertisers broadly" and that Reddit's influence in the purchase decision journey is clear.
