Meet Jessica Robinson, committed to the future of mobility

The culture of the automotive industry needs to change — or risk falling behind. And no one knows change better than Jessica Robinson of Assembly Ventures, a mobility venture capital firm. Jessica has made some huge career pivots, from professional tea taster to solutions director with Ford’s Smart Mobility project to the co-founder of Assembly Ventures. Today, she’s determined to change the mobility industry for the better. Impacting that change, she says, is all about overcoming the fear of failure. “I think for me, what overcoming that fear of failure looks like is not denying the fear,” says Jessica. “It's, I think, a fundamental part of many of the transitions I've made — living to sit with that fear and go on anyway.”
