Angie Massie

When Hurricanes Helene and Milton ravaged communities last year, Massie stepped up to make sure live coverage told the full story with compassion while also providing millions of viewers with life-saving information. It ended up scoring Weather Channel its first News and Documentary Emmy Award for Breaking News. Now Massie’s looking at how AI can further enhance storytelling. She’s a champion for women at Weather Channel and beyond, serving as a dedicated mentor for Pathbuilders’ Spring Percepta, a six-month program for emerging leaders.

What’s your “Roman Empire”? Emma Hayes and women’s soccer. As the head coach for the USWNT, she’s changing the game in ways that will benefit my daughters. She applies logic and science to her team management, and I am a huge fan of her leadership style. How can I be more like Emma? She’s a total game-changer, and I’m here for it. Because I’m literally here. For soccer. At a field. Like, a LOT.

With all the buzz around AI and automation, what’s one “human” skill you think will only grow more valuable? Listening with intention. There’s no replacement for it!

What’s your version of a “power move”—whether that’s a power suit, power song, or power mindset? Using “No” as a full sentence. It’s an important tool to protect my time and energy.
