Elysia Everett is the Founder and CEO of Friendly Like Me, Inc. She and co-founder, Dave Jensen, created Friendly Like Me to improve accessibility in public places and to make accessibility information easier to find—so more people can take part.

Elysia is a technologist and activist with over 25 years of leadership in business and information technology. She has experience in all areas of IT and Leadership with special interests in teams, coalitions, strategic execution, communications, and cultural transformation.
During her career, she has served in several leadership positions, most recently as Vice President & Chief of Staff for East Olivia Creative, a start-up with a growing direct-to-consumer business. Prior, Elysia spent 20 years in multiple leadership roles in the legal sector including Chief Strategic Initiatives Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, and Deputy CIO for DLA Piper, one of the world’s largest law firms.
Importantly, Elysia has lived with obesity for most of her life—thereby experiencing a full spectrum of weight bias and stigma, difficulty gaining access to proper healthcare, and discrimination. She is currently focused on building Friendly Like Me into a company that successfully and substantially improves the experience of “joining in” for people living at higher weights and people with disabilities.
