VIP Speaker Series: National Geographic CEO – Gary Knell
Gary Knell, former CEO of the National Geographic Society and NPR, has joined consulting firm QCatalyst as a partner.
QCatalyst is led by former PBS digital chief Jason Seiken and works with a range of clients with an emphasis on digital and public media, a world Knell is familiar with from his time at NPR and as CEO of Sesame Workshop earlier in his career. In his new role, Knell will be a key member of the team that advises clients on business strategy and transformation, leadership consulting, marketing and board engagement.
Knell told Variety that he's noticed that many nonprofits and startups struggle to integrate digital strategy into all aspects of their operations.
