Cogmed/ Pearson’s Jonas Jendi on Psychologists — who needs them? The case for the long run

May 31, 2012 by SharpBrains

Mr. Jen­di, the Gen­er­al Man­ag­er and Vice Pres­i­dent of Cogmed (now a Pear­son sub­sidiary), will dis­cuss Psy­chol­o­gists — who needs them? The case for the long run, at the upcom­ing 2012 Sharp­Brains Vir­tu­al Sum­mit (June 7–14th, 2012).

Jonas Jen­di joined Cogmed in 2001 as its chief exec­u­tive offi­cer to help com­mer­cial­ize evi­dence-based appli­ca­tions for work­ing mem­o­ry train­ing devel­oped at Karolin­s­ka Insti­tute. In 2007, Jen­di opened Cogmed’s North Amer­i­can head­quar­ters in Naperville, IL. Pri­or to Cogmed, Mr. Jen­di pro­vided strate­gic con­sult­ing for the Boston Con­sult­ing Group in Stock­holm and Paris, and held man­age­ment and con­sult­ing roles for var­i­ous tech­nol­ogy start-ups. He holds a MS from the Stock­holm School of Economics.
