Clare Bayley started her career in computer science at MIT, but quickly realized that she likes interacting with humans more than computers. Most recently, Clare served as the Director of Product for the United States Digital Service, working under the White House to improve how the government makes and uses technology (or trying to, anyway). Previously, she was the product lead for Google Developers Codelabs and the head of business intelligence for Kink.com. 

Alongside technology, Clare’s other academic focus is sexuality in media and its effects on society. She minored in Women’s & Gender Studies and previously sat on the board of San Francisco Sex Information, a nonprofit dedicated to providing accurate and judgement-free information about human sex and sexuality.

In her spare time, Clare is often found in the kitchen baking unnecessarily complicated breads and cakes. She looks forward to seeing how her California-grown sourdough starter holds up to the Boston climate.
