Hughes was born in Hickory, North Carolina, and attended Harvard University where he met his roommates and Facebook co-founders Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz. In 2007, Hughes left Facebook to serve as the coordinator of online organizing for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign utilizing My.BarackObama.com. Hughes was the subject of an April 2009 cover story in Fast Company magazine under the headline, "The Kid Who Made Obama President." The openly-gay entrepreneur graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a B.A. in Literature and History, and in January 2011, announced his engagement to partner Sean Eldridge. Hughes currently resides in New York, NY and is now Co-Founder & Executive Director of Jumo, a startup that aims to use the social web to foster long-term relationships of responsibility between individuals and organizations working to change the world. In March, 2009 Hughes was named Entrepreneur in Residence at General Catalyst Partners, a Cambridge, Massachusetts venture-capital firm.
