Nicole C. Wong is a life explorer, multimedia storyteller, and experience architect. Her insatiable curiosity about everything from the nooks and crannies of daily life to the wonders around the world have led her to unearth discoveries about Silicon Valley techies’ habit of corporate-cafeteria hopping and what fried crickets taste like in China. And more serious stuff, like insights about layoffs and offshoring at the world’s largest technology company. This appetite for adventure and passion for communicating with words, audio, and video has fueled an award-winning journalism career — with reporting experience in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America — as a business and metro staff writer at The Boston Globe, The San Jose Mercury News, and The Washington Post since 2001.

In August 2009, the San Francisco native moved to New York to be a Knight-Bagehot Fellow in Business and Economics at Columbia University. In July 2010, she moved back to the Bay Area to join Yahoo! as a global brand marketing manager. She became senior manager of storytelling and now is senior manager of leadership and management development.
