Hi, I'm Dan Jacobs β a tech leader, writer, and sometimes filmmaker living in North West London with my schnauzer, Molly.
I'm currently Director of Engineering at CDP, a global non-profit working to address climate change through environmental transparency and action. I lead the engineering team behind CDP's digital infrastructure, supporting its mission to drive global disclosure and sustainability.
Beyond my professional role, I'm involved in a range of creative, intellectual, and community-driven projects:
I co-founded Broigus Productions, where we create short films exploring Jewish identity, conflict, and storytelling.
I'm one of the founding editors of JewThink, an online magazine for new Jewish thought, commentary, and cultural exploration.
I once ran the satire site Daily Jews, which still gets occasional updates when inspiration (or indignation) strikes.
I serve as a trustee of the Jewish Vegan Society, promoting ethical, plant-based living through a Jewish lens.
I was also a founder of Socialists Against Antisemitism, a grassroots response to rising antisemitism on the political left, especially during the Corbyn era.
I also have a longstanding academic interest in Ancient Near Eastern religions, with a focus on the early development of Jewish theology and myth. Some of my research and reflections can be found at The Rabbis.
Feel free to explore the links or get in touch β I'm always up for a thoughtful conversation, a creative collaboration, or a stroll with Molly and a podcast in my ears.
