Board of Directors

Lindsay Tanne | Executive Director

Throughout the six years of their marriage, Lindsay Tanne built a home, a family, a global company, and a beautiful life with Jesse.

Lindsay is the proud mom to Eve Jesse Kolber, born in April 2018 – 6 months after Jesse's passing – and lives in Manhattan.

Jamie Kenyon | Academic Director

In his decade of working alongside Jesse and Lindsay, Jamie Kenyon built a close friendship with both of them. After Jesse's passing, Jamie felt it only natural to dedicate himself to preserving Jesse's legacy and helping to increase access to educational opportunity. Jamie led the development of LogicPrep’s ACT and SAT verbal curriculums but also enjoys teaching math, history, and literature. No matter what he is teaching, Jamie’s logical approach and calm demeanor inspire confidence in his students.
