Julie Nguyen

Julie is the founder of SNAP TASTE and a driving force in global storytelling, innovation, and creative leadership. A respected member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council, she also serves as a judge for the CES Innovation Awards (2024, 2025, and 2026), bringing her perspective to the intersections of business, culture, and breakthrough technologies.

Her immersive reporting has taken audiences behind the scenes of defining world moments, from the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and Expo 2020 Dubai to CES, D23 Expo, and the Milano Monza Motor Show. Through her lens, global events become intimate, human stories.

An accomplished film critic and editorial voice, Julie has built a reputation for reviews that go beyond analysis, finding the heartbeat within the frame. Her work on National Geographic documentaries and other cinematic works speaks to audiences who believe that great storytelling has the power to shift perspectives and expand the world.

At the heart of everything Julie does is a belief that art, technology, and culture are not separate conversations. She has spent her career proving they never were.
