HI, I’M EDDA
Let’s communicate with purpose.
I help the world navigate the most consequential technology conversation of our time: how AI shapes the lives of children and families.
As a communications executive, I lead global communications strategy, media relations, and executive messaging in service of responsible AI, trust, and safety, work that has made me a go-to voice on the biggest questions facing tech, parents, and policymakers today.
In March 2026, I was honored with the California Woman of the Year Award for the 16th Assembly District, recognizing my work helping turn children's online safety advocacy into real, enforceable California law. For a decade, I served as a gubernatorial appointee to the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth under Governors Warner (D), Kaine (D), and McDonnell (R), a bipartisan appointment that reflects my ability to build trust across political divides. I serve on the Board of Trustees for Orinda Union School District, overseeing a $100M bond budget, and as a board director for Facing History & Ourselves. I've been quoted in The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and FORTUNE.
From government and advocacy at the American Academy of Pediatrics to Fortune 500 consulting for Lucid Motors, Pinterest, the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, and Wells Fargo, I’ve built a career making complex ideas impossible to ignore, and carrying that work to the rooms where it counts.
Georgetown and Hampton Universities provided the foundation. A career spent navigating sectors, ideologies, and institutions gave me the instincts to lead communications that build lasting trust, and a comfort on stage that comes from having lived every side of these debates.
As quoted in:
“My approach is grounded in strategic thinking, calm judgement, and practical action.”
SPEAKING & STAGES
A voice at the highest levels.
I’ve spoken at corporate events, leadership summits, and executive forums for organizations including Yahoo!, the Mom 2.0 Summit, Strava, Uber, Lyft, and the Virginia Women’s Conference.
“Her counsel helped us navigate one of the most difficult moments in our organization’s history.”
