President and chief creative KATY SAI wants to hear your story. As an immigrant from Thailand, Katy learned to speak English by asking questions, and she hasn’t stopped yet. After two decades as an award-winning broadcast news anchor and reporter, she launched StoryBridge in 2007 to put her experience to work for mission-driven organizations. She’s proud to work with a talented team supporting causes from cancer detection to clean energy to homelessness. Katy loves to do yoga, play the piano and ride her bike, but rarely all three at the same time. |
