Amy Blackman is a Brooklyn, NY native. After receiving an MA in Cultural Anthropology from Columbia, she moved to LA and had a successful 18 year run in the music industry, managing the global businesses of multi-Grammy Award winning music artists and producers. Her career culminated in being named a Cultural Ambassador for the US State Department, producing public diplomacy missions in regions that had never before seen live music from the West. Dreams fulfilled, she sold her house, quit her job, and attended Georgetown University for a Global Executive MBA. She was recruited to run the North America subsidiary of a global multimedia design agency, then became VP at Contend Immersive, working with rogue, vanguard and brilliant strategists, designers, artists, and branders. Her latest venture is Founder/Principal at Fruition Co., an innovation strategy consultancy that coalesces her life, work, and academic adventures. For fun, Amy does international channel swimming expeditions.
