How Storytelling Leaves a Lasting Legacy - Verdell Walker

  • Résumé

  • In today’s episode, I chat with Verdell Walker, a seasoned consumer-oriented content and marketing professional and board director. Verdell is highly regarded by her peers as a thought leader and someone who fosters an inclusive environment, demonstrated by her effectiveness in leading and working collaboratively with teams. She serves on the board of directors of Scholastic, Inc, and has held roles at Spotify, Mattel, and Sesame Workshop - the makers of Sesame Street.


    With stints at such iconic brands, a good place for us to start was the tension between legacy and innovation. How did this factor into Verdell’s thinking?


    We discussed her enduring legacy at Spotify; developing the brand’s first slate of original kids & family podcasts and garnering nearly 400K listeners less than 5 months after launch! What did she learn taking that journey?


    And we closed discussing the future of content. In an era punctuated by AI, how will organic creativity shine through?
