About

Emily Slade is an artist and entrepreneur at the epicenter of the creative economy. She’s a documentarian at heart and specializes in travel and lifestyle photography with a signature ability to capture the emotion and meaning in fleeting moments. 

She’s currently the Chief Community Officer at Arkive, the world’s first decentralized physical museum of culture. She’s also the CoFounder of Valence which was just acquired by Greenwood and served as Valence’s COO until the acquisition.

Previously, she was the global head of growth/partnerships at Working Not Working, the platform connecting the world’s top Creative talent with companies looking to hire them. She built the Work in Progress Initiative there which launched with the acclaimed food-recovery program called FoodFight that supports tens of thousands of homeless people. They launched FoodFight with a focus on turning foodie-hotspot Abbot Kinney Blvd in Los Angeles into the first zero food waste street in America during their beta, and FoodFight became a feature within the Postmates app in 19 cities with 3000+ participating restaurants donating food to homeless shelters.

Throughout her career, she's focused on helping tech companies and startups scale strategically and authentically, contributing to the $1B IPO & sale of Active Network during her 7 year tenure there. Her side hustle is behind the lens as a co-founder of a travel production company, Pindrop Films, which takes her across the world from Egypt to South America to Sub-Saharan Africa. She's also working with Straight Up Films to co-produce the feature film "Man's Search For Meaning" based on the iconic memoir by Viktor Frankl and she is the L.A. chair of The Schusterman Family Foundation.

She lives in Los Angeles by way of San Francisco and is available for editorial and commercial assignments.
