ABOUT TONJA THIGPEN

Leading the charge at Wondery (An Amazon Company) as Head of Video Podcast Production, I have spearheaded the successful transformation of audio to video format, significantly enhancing audience engagement and increased revenue. With a strategic focus on audience expansion, my team and I premiered \"We Playin’ Spades\", Baby, This is Keke Palmer, Redacted, The Offensive Line, Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, and The Big Flop on video, entering new viewer demographics and broadening our reach. We are also home to powerhouse sports podcasts like New Heights and Mind the Game. My forte lies in creating video/audio that drives revenue. My role is a blend of creativity and strategic oversight. I am also a member of Delta Sigma Theta.
