Josh Penrod

Josh Penrod is a technology executive who has been working in software since 1999 when, as a BYU student, the first website he worked on was the BYU Speeches site. He was so excited about the potential of the internet that he dropped out of college and joined a startup. To the relief of his History Professor father and English teacher mother, he went back to school and graduated from BYU with a BS in Psychology in 2001. He is currently Chief Product Officer at Podium, and prior to that, he was Vice President of User Experience at Ancestry.com. Josh is passionate about helping refugees, and due to connections made during his time as a missionary in Venezuela, he has focused on assisting Venezuelans refugees. Josh and his wife Adrienne live in Orem, Utah and are the parents of four children.
