Abigail Posner Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Abigail Posner shines a humanistic lens on business and technology, bringing a fresh perspective to marketing, digital advertising, and corporate culture. As the Director of Google’s US Creative Works, Abigail and her team work closely with the advertising and marketing communities to help develop the most effective ads and content for YouTube. She hosts the podcast Human Code, has published her thought pieces in publications around the world from Fast Company to Advertising Age and is the recipient of the prestigious Media Impact Award from the UN.

How do we create the future when change is coming at us so fast? That’s what Abigail Posner is asked by the companies and leaders she works with now. The answer lies in the ability for leaders and organizations to think expansively and harness their Human Code as the ultimate competitive edge in an AI world. The Human Code is the art of combining your unique experiences, interests, and perspectives to lead with more impact, more originality, and an edge that's entirely your own. For 13 years at Google, Abigail helped clients invent the future by applying her unique combination of backgrounds – cultural anthropology, the creative world, and tech. Now in her post-Google career as a speaker and consultant, Abigail inspires leaders and teams think expansively. She helps them unlock innovation and drive real transformation by blending AI and data intelligence with creative vision and human-centered thinking. That’s the overview – but let’s dive in a bit. At Google’s Creative Works, Abigail led a multidisciplinary team developing data-driven, AI-powered advertising and branded content strategies for YouTube’s top global advertisers. She pioneered Humanizing Digital, an anthropology-based thought leadership series exploring our emotional relationship with technology. She also helped guide a cultural transformation initiative for Google’s 4,000+ sales professionals, building unity and renewed purpose across regions; and earlier, created and scaled a global culture of insights program that deepened customer understanding both within Google and across client organizations. Before joining Google, Abigail served as executive vice president of Brand Strategy at Publicis New York and Strategy Team Director at DDB New York, where she led major global client initiatives and new business efforts that shaped brand identities across industries. Her work has been recognized with the United Nations Media Impact Award, and her insights have been featured in outlets including The New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, CNBC, and elsewhere. She regularly shares perspectives on innovation, creativity, and the human-technology relationship at conferences and business gatherings all over the world. Through the Human Code newsletter and her writing in outlets such as The Drum, Abigail shapes global dialogue around culture, technology, and human behavior. She also hosts the Human Code podcast, bringing these conversations to life with industry leaders and cultural figures. A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard University in social anthropology, Abigail lives in New York City, where she raised her three adult children.
