Jonathan A. Greenblatt is best known as a corporate executive, businessman, and CEO and director of the
Anti-Defamation League. The organization leads efforts to promote fair treatment of all people and fight antisemitism.
Before he took over as ADL's leader, Greenblatt worked in the Obama administration, focusing on social innovation. He also led and built several businesses, including
Ethos Water, which provides clean water to children.
Since he became CEO in 2015, Greenblatt has been remaking the organization to address modern challenges better. He pushed the ADL to focus more on rising extremism and online hate and helped shape policy on how the ADL tracks hate groups and craft stronger response tools.
Jonathan Greenblatt revived the
Center on Extremism, which monitors and studies dangerous movements. He is also behind
Never Is Now, a program that brings together similarly minded people confronting antisemitism.
Greenblatt has also shown an interest in technology and its impact on society.
In this regard, he is the founder of the Silicon Valley-based
Center for Technology and Society, which addresses harassment and online abuse. He also pushed for corporate giants to acknowledge responsibility for harmful social media content through the Stop Hate for Profit campaign.
In his book titled
It Could Happen Here, Jonathan Greenblatt warns about how hate can grow quietly and turn dangerous.
He explains how forms of hate, such as racism and antisemitism, start small but can turn violent if not addressed early enough. Greenblatt gives examples of how this has happened before, even as he argues that a rise in hate could indicate that society is becoming unstable due to excessive tension.
The work is not only a warning but also a guide to responding, as Greenblatt asserts that leaders, groups, and individuals need to speak out, take early action, and work together to stop hate before it is too late.
Greenblatt teaches that the unthinkable can be prevented if only people act responsibly and courageously.
