About Tricia Johnson
Ideas Pollinator | Creative Producer | Director | Communications SpecialistI excel in crafting live-event and digital programming that resonates deeply with audiences, challenges assumptions, sparks insights, and advances collective learning.As a co-producer of the annual Aspen Ideas Festival, I’ve had the privilege of shaping a world-class public convening that has featured luminaries such as Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Brené Brown, Jon Batiste, Katie Couric, Indra Nooyi, and William McRaven. Over the years, I have collaborated closely with esteemed editorial partners at NBCUniversal Newsgroup and The Atlantic, and our underwriting partner, Allstate.I launched and continue to executive produce the Aspen Institute’s flagship podcast, Aspen Ideas to Go. Additionally, I co-produced Rethinking Possible, a podcast profiling outstanding social innovators in partnership with the Skoll Foundation. In 2020 and 2021, I played a pivotal role in transitioning the Festival’s in-person gathering to a digital format, successfully engaging an online audience of more than a strong background in editing and project management, I have led a comprehensive website redesign, launched a mobile app, and overseen numerous print and digital projects including a weekly e-newsletter. I manage a dedicated team and maintain relationships and contracts with a diverse roster of vendors.
