Background

About Julianna Arnold

A versatile professional and nonprofit leader with a multidisciplinary background, I’ve worked across sectors, disciplines, and cultures to turn ideas into impact. My experience spans strategic planning, marketing, organizational growth, and advocacy — grounded in a commitment to excellence, creativity, and purpose.Over the past two decades, I’ve led initiatives in both the private and nonprofit sectors, helping organizations build strong teams, clarify vision, and drive measurable change. My nonprofit experience includes developing national advocacy campaigns, securing philanthropic partnerships, and guiding mission-driven organizations through periods of startup and strategic growth.My current focus centers on promoting technology accountability and ensuring online safety for children. As the Founder and Executive Director of Parents RISE, a grassroots movement led by survivor-parents, I am deeply engaged in efforts to reform technology policy. This work involves collaborating closely with policymakers, researchers, and families to advocate for stronger corporate accountability and the development of digital products that are inherently safe for young users.In addition to my leadership within Parents RISE, I have partnered with prominent advocacy organizations such as ParentsSOS and Fairplay. Through these collaborations, I have contributed to advancing legislative changes and increasing public awareness about the harms associated with social media, the importance of youth mental health, and the growing concerns around AI safety.My approach to these challenges—whether navigating complex government processes, drafting policy recommendations, or fostering partnerships among parents, advocates, and lawmakers—is guided by integrity, empathy, and a firm belief that innovation should serve the best interests of humanity rather than exploit it.Fluent in English, French, Russian, and Turkish, and with professional experience in 25+ countries, I bring a global perspective to every endeavor. My work bridges strategy and heart — combining rigorous policy thinking with the lived experience that drives real change.
