Celia Black

For nearly three decades, I’ve had the privilege of helping visionary leaders, pioneering technologies, and mission-driven organizations transform bold ideas into global movements.

Today, I serve as Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Marketing Officer at Kurzweil Technologies, where I work alongside inventor, futurist, and bestselling author Ray Kurzweil to shape the company’s global strategy, partnerships, communications, and market presence. My work spans artificial intelligence, longevity, healthcare, emerging technologies, publishing, and public policy, connecting breakthrough innovations with the audiences, institutions, and leaders who can help accelerate their impact.

Throughout my career, I’ve led global marketing and communications initiatives for bestselling books, groundbreaking technologies, scientific discoveries, nonprofit organizations, startups, and Fortune 500 companies. I’ve helped launch products, build brands, secure international media coverage, develop strategic partnerships, and bring world-changing ideas from concept to reality.

I’m especially passionate about the intersection of artificial intelligence, human potential, healthspan, science, creativity, and social impact. Whether working with entrepreneurs, researchers, authors, artists, or global thought leaders, I believe the most powerful innovations are those that improve lives and expand what’s possible for humanity.

Beyond my professional work, I serve on the boards and advisory councils of organizations advancing innovation, consciousness, education, and the arts, and I remain committed to using communications as a catalyst for meaningful change.
