Abigail Wilson Geiger is a journalist and experienced professional in editorial, research and adjacent work environments.
In her work, Abigail investigates the topline issues of today through the lens of the personal and powerful. In other words, she explores what it means and what it takes to exist in an ever-changing world, particularly through the perspective of those most affected by such rapid shifts. In complex, chaotic environments, Abigail is a sharp, keen observer who can pinpoint the most important data points, voices and stories and elegantly place everything in a wider, purposeful context.
Her signature style, which is rooted in original story-driven journalism and research, expertly merges her competitive training in news and analysis, her incomparable experience in the field and office and her innate observational skills. This advanced approach taps into her intensive, wide-ranging experience in international, national, local journalism, data, research and nonprofits; as well as a background and training in news and political science from top-tier institutions.
To further hone these skills, Abigail is currently pursuing postgraduate studies in international relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science following a decade of experience working with some of the most respected organizations in news and research, including The New York Times and Pew Research Center. Her work has been published and cited widely. She holds degrees in journalism and political science from the University of Missouri. She speaks native English as well as conversational Spanish and French.
From delivering original reporting from the eye of a hurricane to collaboratively editing industry-standard research, Abigail singularly embodies the traits needed of a leader in today’s complex information environment that is shifting as fast as the world around it.
Now in London, she is actively planning to step into the right role to continue to uncover the world’s most important issues, interrogate their meaning and work to solve them.
