Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShana Kimball is an engagement and product leader who applies 15+ years of experience at the intersection of technology, public service, and the humanities to design equitable, human-centered government services. She has led cross-functional teams in civic tech and nonprofits, secured multi-million dollar funding, and launched high-impact public programs—from an Instagram-based voter guide to national COVID outreach—while shaping sector best practices at institutions like the Library of Congress and The British Library. Comfortable moving between strategy, grantmaking, communications, and product delivery, she excels at convening diverse stakeholders and translating research into usable public-facing systems. A lateral thinker with roots in publishing and literary scholarship, she brings uncommon fluency in narrative, policy, and product to issues around automation, AI, and social equity. Based in New York, she combines rigorous program stewardship with a maker’s curiosity—whether in community organizing, Ashtanga yoga, or experimental home cooking.
