About Katherine Boehret

I am a communications expert and former Wall Street Journal technology columnist known for developing clear, mission-driven messaging and strategies. From skillful writing to event management to crisis communications, I value clarity over corporate jargon. I currently build internal messaging strategies for Amazon\'s Devices & Services teams. Prior to joining Amazon, I was the director of executive communications at Capital One. There, I led communications for the president of the company and for teams within the Card division of the company. I began my career at The Wall Street Journal, where I spent a dozen years in technology journalism. There, I reviewed groundbreaking personal technology innovations in my weekly column, The Digital Solution. I simultaneously learned the conference industry with the birth of our D: All Things Digital conferences and website. When I left journalism, I took on senior roles in global and boutique communications firms. There, I continued to deliver direct, thoughtful feedback for top executives while developing messages to connect them with their audiences.
