JoAnn De Jesus

JoAnn comes to Altruvistas sharing our passion for adventure and a love for travel. JoAnn was born and raised in the Philippines and spent most of her adult life in Texas before finally moving to California. With over 16 years of marketing communications experience, JoAnn has a diverse portfolio with a solid track record of propelling companies to success — from non-profits, start-ups, telecommunications and federal government.

At a ripe age, JoAnn has been very active with her community, volunteering at her school and various nonprofit organizations such as Parrots and People, American Heart Association and more recently Little Brothers of the Elderly.

In 2003, JoAnn was presented with the Servant Leadership Award by Dallas Baptist University, where she completed her Masters Degree in Organizational Management. This award is presented to one student per year who has dedicated their life in service to others.

In 2014, she was nominated as one of the “100 Most Influential Women in the World” by San Francisco’s Filipina Women’s Network.

Today, JoAnn continues to be a catalyst for change. When she’s not busy helping clients as a change management/communications consultant, you can find JoAnn offering yoga classes in the East Bay as part of her organization Yoga Delta, meaning yoga for change.
