Chelsea Collier

I bring people together across sectors to focus on how technology can be applied to civic and social challenges. I founded Digi.City, an online platform, to advocate for more human-centric smart city approaches. I also serves as the Editor-at-Large for Smart Cities Connect which provides meaningful content and connects a community of decision-makers to empower smart cities at all stages of growth.

I am grateful to be part of a global community through the University of Manchester (UK) Simon Industrial & Professional Fellowship (2019), a Marshall Memorial Fellowship (2018) and an Eisenhower Fellowship (2016). My previous experience in state government (economic development), social enterprise, tech startup, small business informs my cross sector approach. I live in Austin with my husband and am active in my local tech and social impact communities.
