Dr. Jessica Gold

Jessica Gold, Ph.D., helps successful, post-exit founders, STEM leaders, and high-achieving couples build relationships that are as extraordinary as their careers. An MIT-trained chemist, UC Berkeley Ph.D., and UCSF postdoctoral fellow, Jessica spent 10 years studying molecular bonding before asking a different question: What if we studied human relationships with the same mindset? That became the foundation of her Relationship Chemistry™ methodology. As co-founder of WonderCal with her husband Tevye, she’s experienced the realities of building a business alongside a marriage. Running a business together means walking her relational talk every day. Rather than asking clients to abandon the way they think, Jessica invites them to apply it in a new domain. Drawing on chemistry, neuroscience, and systems theory, she uses recurring principles found in nonlinear systems to make the dynamics of relationships intuitive for analytical minds. Relationship Chemistry™ translates those ideas into steps that help high achievers build extraordinary partnerships with the same intentionality they bring to building exceptional companies. Jessica has worked with hundreds of clients, holds seven certifications across psychology, neuroscience, and coaching methodologies, has delivered a TEDx talk, and has been featured in The Guardian and Good Men Project. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jessica lives with the love of her life, Tevye, and their unruly teenager. When she’s not running her two companies, she can be found dancing Brazilian Zouk, Olympic weightlifting, or out sailing.
