The Context

Techonomy is a leadership platform that convenes CEOs, founders, policymakers, and technologists to examine how technology is reshaping business and society — across AI, climate, infrastructure, and global economic systems.

As Head of Content, I operated at the intersection of business strategy, executive communications, and live events — shaping the ideas, narratives, and conversations that advanced Techonomy's business.

Executive Narratives & Conversations

Building executive thought leadership programs at the intersection of technology, business, and society.

The Work

  • Built and scaled executive thought leadership programs for CEOs, founders, and senior leaders — developing the editorial infrastructure that translated complex business and tech ideas into compelling, publishable narratives for a targeted, influential audience.

  • Shaped narratives and content across AI, climate, infrastructure, and social impact, anchored to global policy frameworks including the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

  • Designed the content pipeline connecting live conference programming to digital distribution — ensuring ideas surfaced on stage reached broader audiences through articles, video, and newsletters.

  • Moderated executive-level discussions with business and technology leaders in New York and Silicon Valley.
