Emily O'Donnell

Emily O'Donnell serves as VP of Product and Communications at Evolution Digital, a company based in Centennial, Colorado, where she has worked for 11 years. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 2014 and entered the technology industry shortly thereafter, initially spending two years in product-focused public relations at Dish Network. At Evolution Digital, she began in PR and content marketing before identifying a need for stronger product leadership and transitioning into product development and management, eventually rising through manager, senior manager, director, and VP roles. Her responsibilities center on product roadmap development, requirements, user experience design, and marketing materials, with communications now comprising a small portion of her work. O'Donnell is an active member of Women in Cable Technology (WICT) and contributes her time to philanthropic efforts with Habitat for Humanity and Susan G. Komen. She attributes her professional growth to the supportive environment at her company, a strong work ethic, collaboration with teams, and early experiences such as her internship in the press office for Kamala Harris and her role as a sports writer at the University of Michigan.
