About me
The former editor and publisher of Chalkbeat, Bene now works as an organizational consultant and coach with newsrooms and nonprofits. She loves helping leaders convert big ideas into actionable plans using a design thinking framework, and is passionate about audience and community engagement and designing systems that build operational resilience. Her years working in digital startups taught her about launching products, scaling organizations, managing operations, and driving revenue — experiences that enriched her work back in journalism when she returned. She lives in New York City and spends most of her free time cooking, eating, and talking about cooking and eating.
