An early builder at the intersection of technology and media, Kelly Ann has spent more than two decades working across digital innovation, communications and social impact. She helped launch and advise early AI ventures, including one of the earliest generative AI music companies, and co-founded Kittr, an early machine-learning platform developed with Twitter that used AI to predict what would trend on the platform.

Today, her work spans blockchain, AI, digital assets, emerging technology, communications, workforce development, STEAM education and social impact. Her initiatives have reached millions of people and helped thousands of women and young people access education, industry events, professional networks and new opportunities.

As part of her work with America The Beautiful Foundation, Kelly Ann helps lead GROW, a national initiative focused on STEAM education and youth engagement. Through GROW, she is working on a first-of-its-kind partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to engage the private sector in supporting and raising funds for projects across America's national forests. In November 2026, America The Beautiful, narrated by Kelsey Grammer, will debut in IMAX® and Giant Screen theaters across the United States, with Kelly Ann helping lead the film's national rollout and 50-state engagement campaign.

Throughout her career, Kelly Ann's work has involved leading companies, media organizations, nonprofits and global institutions, including Google, Twitch, Starbucks, Disney, Adobe, USA Today, Salesforce, Slack, the World Bank, Conservation International, The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, TED-Ed and multiple United Nations agencies.

Her work has been recognized by the White House, the United Nations, Inc. magazine and Wonder Women Tech. She was named to Inc.'s Female Founders 100 in 2021, recognized as a Top 10 Metaverse Influencer in 2022, and ranked No. 3 on Feedspot's 2026 list of top blockchain influencers.
