About


JESSICA POWELL is the author of The Big Disruption: A Totally Fictional but Essentially True Silicon Valley Story, described by The New York Times as "a zany satire [whose] diagnosis of Silicon Valley’s cultural stagnancy is so spot on that it’s barely contestable.”

Jessica is the former Vice President of Communications for Google and served on the company's management team. She is the author of Literary Paris, and her fiction and non-fiction have been published in TIME, The New York Times, VICE, WIRED, Fast Company, and elsewhere. She is also the co-founder and CEO of AudioShake, an A.I. startup that builds sound separation software to help make audio more accessible and useful.
