Background

About Helen Edwards

I have spent my career at the edges of chaos: where technological innovation collides head-on with traditional ways of doing things. I am often described as being able to “link the un-linkable,” to see new counter-intuitive outcomes, and having a knack for spotting the signal in the noise. I've been an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, technology executive, writer, editor, market researcher, engineer, and product manager. I’ve been the CIO of Transpower, New Zealand’s national grid, head of emerging products at Pacific Gas and Electric, and head of corporate venturing for Meridian Energy. In 2017, the artificial intelligence market research firm I founded alongside my husband, Dave Edwards, was sold to Atlantic Media, and we continued our work at Atlantic Media’s subsidiary Quartz. As a husband-and-wife team, we have worked together since 2009, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My expertise includes- Advising top executives on AI strategy and complex change - Guiding research on disruptive sectors and identifying the key metrics for success - Crafting compelling narratives to demystify technological change - Delivering the moment of clarity that empowers bold decisions and harnessing the transformative potential of AI If you're ready to ensure your organization thrives in this complex age of artificial intelligence, let's connect.
