Biography

From Google to Human Code

Abigail Posner spent 13 years at Google, but don’t make assumptions about her based on that fact.

Abigail didn’t start in tech. She started out studying people, earning a degree from Harvard in social anthropology, driven by one question: Why do humans do what they do? That lens proved to be the most valuable thing she ever brought to the boardroom at top advertising agencies where she shaped brand identities and communication to achieve tangible results.

Then, for thirteen years as director of U.S. Creative Works at Google, Abigail brought cultural anthropology to the data and technology, leading a team crafting AI-powered technologies and winning strategies for YouTube’s top global advertising clients. During her tenure, she pioneered Humanizing Digital, a thought leadership series grounded in anthropology that examined how people emotionally connect with technology. She also played a key role in shaping internal culture, guiding a transformation initiative for more than 4,000 sales professionals and building programs that strengthened customer understanding across Google and its clients.

While everyone asked, “What can tech do?” – Abigail asked, “What does tech do to us?” – and then used those insights to create valuable strategies.

One thing became clear: As tech got smarter, humanness got more valuable. Now in her post-Google career, Abigail has founded the Human Code Company to answer the question so many leaders were asking her: “How do we create the future when change is coming at us so fast?”

The answer lies in the ability for leaders to think expansively and harness their Human Code
as the ultimate competitive edge in an AI world.

Strategy, Recognition, and Ongoing Impact

Before Google, Abigail held senior strategy roles at Publicis New York and DDB New York, where she led major global client initiatives and helped shape brand identities across industries.

Her work has been recognized with the United Nations Media Impact Award, and her insights have been featured in major media outlets including The New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, and CNBC. She regularly shares perspectives on innovation, creativity, and the human-technology relationship at conferences and business gatherings all over the world.

She continues to influence global conversations through her Human Code newsletter, her writing, and The Human Code podcast, where she engages with leaders and cultural thinkers on innovation and the human relationship with technology.

It is the human ability to connect curiosity, creativity, ingenuity, and lived experience in ways that open up new possibilities.
