DONOVAN

Hi! Friends and close colleagues call me Nori. I'm a deep generalist with strong fundamentals and discernment who enjoys wearing many hats: Emmy-winning producer, media executive, creative strategist, product builder. My work sits at the intersection of editorial judgment, AI-native products and agentic experiences, and brand building.

Currently, I'm the founding Lead for Product Content at Perplexity, designing and shipping knowledge content and brand work directly into the product codebase. Day to day, I work horizontally across the company, and I've shaped surfaces like Discover, Brain, and real-time voice experiences. Downstream, I build stories around these products and the people who built them to further our brand. I'm highly adaptable and enterprising, and I love leading creative teams, mentoring emerging talent, and building systems that unlock new storytelling paths.

Over the past 15 years, I've crafted award-winning content and led multidisciplinary teams working across video, TV, and podcasts for global media brands including The Verge, Vox Media, Netflix, CNN, Discovery Communications, and Group Nine Media, as well as renowned talent. My focus is now where AI and knowledge content meet, partnering with product and creative teams that prioritize craft and integrity.

I also serve as an advisor to the global AI Collective and a judge for ElevenLabs' Chroma Awards, an AI competition for film, music video, and games that brings together creators and communities.
