Ella Fitzsimmons PhD

Digital products, strategy and writing

I partner with teams working on knotty problems, emerging technologies and complex ideas — so everyone knows what matters, what to say, and what to do next.

I’ve led technical product teams in the private and non-profit sectors, prototyping and testing how privacy, security and trust are good for business.

I’ve inspired 1000s of technologists by amplifying users’ voices, and explained complicated things – in short words – to executives, investors and billions of users.


My doctoral research, about the internet as a source of religious authority, has been cited in the International Journal of Human Rights. Plus, you’ve probably quoted blog posts, presentations and speeches I’ve ghostwritten for other people.
