Dawn has spent her 25+ year career connecting people to relevant knowledge and information. Her experience across industries and geographies includes leading an internal Knowledge Management team at McKinsey and Company, building databases for the Oprah Winfrey Show, running research services for a division of American Express, and managing academic librarianship at several universities and an environmental and sustainability research institute. Having earned a BA, MS, and MLIS, she is a data and taxonomy nerd and forever a librarian at heart. Dawn is an avid podcaster, hosting "Shush-Free-Zone."

Based outside of Malmö, Sweden Dawn is currently an independent consultant and advisor in the KM and data space and a frequent speaker on topics such as tacit knowledge exchange, data governance, and the role of modern librarians.
