About Joan Dodd

Principal, Business Development


The combined experiences of co-founders Beth Carls, Amy Looper and Mary Schenck-Ross provide the foundation for OneSeventeen Media’s success. As seasoned start-up veterans, the co-founders’ equally dedicated core team (some of whom have worked with the founders for over a dozen years) share the trio’s mission, commitment and undeniable enthusiasm, making the entire organization hum like a well oiled lean-mean-bootstrappin’-machine. The entire team lives to make a difference in the world with, and for, kids.

Passion motivated and fully versed in social media, corporate strategy, marketing, start-ups, revenue generation and customer engagement through the value of innovation in youth-based social media tools.

Beth and Amy were part of a founding team that took a $158M technology company public and Mary’s Intellectual Property helped raise over $20M for another company. Not ones to rest on their laurels, they formed OneSeventeen Media to be a part of a pioneering opportunity – specifically to capitalize on an exciting emerging sector of the economy dedicated to “harnessing the power of private enterprise for public benefit.”
