In boardrooms and on dance-floors, in front of a microphone and behind the scenes, cultural strategist and consultant Georgia Taglietti has been a lynchpin of the international cultural community for 25+ years. A serial early-adopter; she’s renowned for helping shape trends in business and communications, embracing new media and new technologies, as well as for her comprehensive knowledge of the ins and outs of cultural ecosystems.

As Communications and Digital Director of Sónar Festival since 1995, her work created the template for how to build a lasting cultural brand in a rapidly changing marketplace, establishing its digital footprint and overseeing the global expansion of what is today one of the most prestigious names in electronic arts and culture. An in-demand speaker at events, congresses and conferences and more, she also sits on the board of the Women-in-Music platform shesaid.so, as well as providing constant mentorship to start-ups with a focus on culture, art, sustainability and non profit activities.

Combining 25+ years of relationships and contacts, with a driven and empathic ‘people first’ approach to talent, her current role as Founder and CEO of The ICNAC sees her open her network to cultural actors big and small, continuing her mission to drive culture forward.
