LISA GELOBTER
Gelobter was born in 1971 in Washington, D.C. and grew up in New York City. Her father was a Polish Jew, and her mother was Afro-Caribbean. Gelobter expressed an interest in mathematics from a very early age. Although her family faced financial challenges, her father, a campaign manager for Shirley Chisholm, encouraged her to attend higher education.
Gelobter enrolled in Brown University in 1987, eventually graduating in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in artificial intelligence and machine learning.[3] Gelobter often took breaks from college due to financial challenges, and she worked as a Teaching Assistant (TA), even when she wasn’t fully enrolled. Gelobter later went on to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in Film from the New York University Tisch School of the Arts.
She was announced as the incoming Chief Technology Officer for the City of New York and Commissioner of the Office of Technology and Innovation by Mayor Zohran Mamdani in February 2026.
Gelobter served as the Chief Digital Service Officer for the United States Department of Education during President Barack Obama’s administration.
In 2016, Gelobter founded and took on the role of Chief Executive Officer of tEQuitable, a start-up that provides an independent and confidential platform to address issues of bias, harassment, and discrimination in the workplace.[3] Earlier in her career, she worked at Macromedia on the Shockwave platform, which was influential in bringing animation and motion to the web.
Gelobter has been involved in many social activism and political campaigns. She has worked with Black Girls Code and the Kapor Center for Social Impact in efforts to address issues of racism and bias in the technology industry.
