Leadership

Nicole Volpe started as a foreign correspondent, filing from Port-au-Prince on assassinations, disasters, and civil unrest and earning bylines in The New York Times, the Miami Herald, and a front page in The Washington Post. At Reuters she built the Reuters Summits from scratch into a global franchise, leading production of news for markets from editorial board-style interviews with presidents, cabinet members, global leaders and CEOs some thirty times a year, then led content strategy for Bloomberg's consumer wealth division and the consumer arm of Lipper. After operating roles at a high-growth startup in New York and Berlin, she co-founded Deke, an agency focused on op-eds—winning bylines for clients in hundreds of publications, from The Wall Street Journal to Fortune, with regular columns in Inc. and Forbes and trade publications. She founded VolpeMiller to do all of it at once: reporting-grade judgment, an operator's instincts, and the placement muscle to put an executive's argument in front of the readers—and investors—who matter.
