Powerhouse journalist Joanne Lipman has transformed newsrooms across the country – and now she’s turned her keen eye to transforming work and life in the post-pandemic era.  Her No. 1 bestseller That’s What She Said, about achieving gender equity at work and at home, inspires men as well as women to join together to promote diversity, innovation and excellence. In her upcoming book, on the art of reinvention, she tackles cultural transformations, focusing on issues including the Great Resignation, the future of work, and career transitions.

Lipman, one of the nation’s most prominent journalists, has served as editor in chief of  USA TODAY, the USA TODAY Network, Conde Nast Portfolio and The Wall Street Journal Weekend Journal, leading those organizations to six Pulitzer Prizes. Dubbed “innovator in chief” by The New York Times and “star editor” by CNN, Lipman began her career at The Wall Street Journal, where she rose to become the highest-ranking woman in the paper’s history, created Weekend Journal and Personal Journal, and supervised coverage that won three Pulitzer Prizes. At Gannett, in addition to her editor in chief roles, she was chief content officer, overseeing more than 3,000 journalists at 110 newspapers, and leading the organization to an historic three Pulitzer Prizes.

Lipman is a familiar face on television, appearing on ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and CBS, among others, and is an on-air contributor at CNBC. Her work has appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Time, Fortune, and Harvard Business Review.

Lipman also teaches a Yale University course on the Media & Democracy, focused on issues including polarization and combating misinformation.

A lively and entertaining speaker, Lipman offers action-oriented insights into issues ranging from workplace culture, to reimagining work and life in the post-COVID world, to fostering diverse and equitable organizations, to transformative leadership. For select clients, she hosts private workshops with top executives on closing the gender gap..
