Jennison Asuncion

Jennison's interest in digital accessibility can be traced back to his participation in a CNIB summer national program that exposed blind and visually impaired youth to access technology. Fast-forward to 2006 when he took on his first full-time digital accessibility role at RBC. He is currently LinkedIn's Head of Accessibility Engineering Evangelism. Outside his professional pursuits, Jennison co-founded Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) in 2012, after happening upon a blog post by a developer, Joe Devon, who called for such a day of digital accessibility awareness. On the occasion of the 10th GAAD, Joe and Jennison co-founded the GAAD Foundation, whose mission is to disrupt the culture of technology and digital product development to include accessibility as a core requirement. A member of the Consumer Technology Association Foundation Board of Trustees, Jennison has been recognized for his industry contributions. These include: featured by Business Insider in 2020 among 30 power players and rising stars helping new CEO Ryan Roslansky run LinkedIn; recognized in 2023 by his alma mater, Concordia University, as a Benoît Pelland Alumnus of the Year; and named alongside LinkedIn in 2025 to the inaugural Forbes Accessibility 100 List of Top Innovators and Impact Makers in accessibility.
