Emily’s professional life has been grounded in education and development for folks of all ages, from all walks of life. Presently, she works for Magnite – a global, sell-side digital advertising company – as their Leadership Development Program Manager. In this role, she is responsible for ensuring that personal and professional leadership development opportunities are accessible to all employees of the company regardless of business unit, role, geographical location, or prior experience. She focuses the content around authentic leadership, building and maintaining trust, values-based leadership, and the essentials for creating cohesive and effective teams. Emily takes Magnite’s 900+ employees through a variety of different trainings and workshops that are designed to support leadership development for the individual, for the team, and for the sustainability of the organization.

Emily has always been deeply passionate about empowering young people and equipping them with the experiences and tools to make a positive impact in their world. She is a firm believer that life’s greatest lessons occur outside the walls of a classroom, but the classroom holds the space to regroup and reflect on those experiences.
Prior to Magnite, Emily worked as the Program Coordinator for the Center for Leadership at CU as well as the Presidents Leadership Class. She helped to support programming across campus that brought students to the world of leadership development. She did similar work for several years at the University of Denver with the Pioneer Leadership Program.

Things like resilience, teamwork, confidence, and grit are all required to achieve success both in group and individual competition.
