Head of Executive & External Communications
As Head of Executive & External Communications at Velastegui Ventures, Nadia manages all media inquiries, pitches our CEO and cofounder Sophia Velastegui to top tier outlets, and oversees her speaking engagements and social media presence. Nadia is a strategic communications leader specializing in helping technology organizations, particularly those with advanced AI integrations, navigate market shifts and craft powerful, credible messages that build trust and drive lasting brand growth.
This framework for high stakes storytelling was forged during her tenure as a CNN National Correspondent and her time as a local news anchor and reporter, where Nadia made history as Utah's first Black primary anchor. Reporting live from the center of major political, regulatory, and business inflection points, Nadia mastered the art of translating dense, complex issues into compelling narratives under immense pressure. Today, Nadia leverages that 15 year newsroom foundation and deep journalistic network to move beyond legacy PR playbooks, shape durable executive voices, and secure authoritative Tier 1 media placements.
