Based across three continents – in NYC, Berlin, London, and Brisbane, Australia – Emily has spent the past 14 years working as an editorial lead, intelligence consultant, research analyst, journalist and trend forecaster. She has worked for global media powerhouses from the likes of Huffington Post and VICE Media to business intelligence firms and innovation labs like PSFK and KKLD to Fortune 500 companies from Coca Cola to MINI.

Emily specialises in identifying white space opportunities, finding the stories worth telling, and creating a heightened level of awareness about how the world is changing and the opportunities to be seized. She has presented at various conferences around the world and used to be the host of her own creative intelligence podcast.

At Economist Impact, she has led various research programs – from conception to creation and cross-platform execution – across innovation, tech, healthcare, workforce, education and sustainability, and the pivotal nexus where all these things intersect.

Emily studied interdisciplinary creativity (journalism, public relations, marketing and creative writing) at Queensland University of Technology, and international business (minoring in economics and anthropology) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She can speak fluent German and has spent 12 years learning Japanese.
