Chennie Huang is a strategic advisor specializing in marketing, sales marketing, communications, and community engagement, with a career spanning both the art and corporate sectors. Since February 2025, she has served as President of the Board of Directors at Artists Talk On Art, where she is spearheading a full-scale revitalization of the legacy 501(c)(3) arts organization.

Her early career began in art collection management at The Ronald S. Lauder Collection before moving into corporate roles at NBCUniversal, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Kantar, where she developed expertise in media strategy and audience insights. While earning her master’s degree in art history, she also led marketing initiatives at institutions such as Lincoln Center and the New-York Historical Society. From 2011 to 2021, she founded and ran an international contemporary art magazine, which led to a sales and marketing role at Phaidon.

As President of Artists Talk On Art, she has led the development of a new visual identity, mission, and digital platform, and launched a renewed programming strategy to restore the organization’s cultural relevance and institutional value. She assembled and now leads a team of senior-level board members and collaborators committed to rebuilding the organization from the ground up—with clear messaging, modern design, and a forward-facing strategy.

Founded in the 1970s, ATOA has hosted over 1,000 public talks and panels and maintains an essential archive in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution. Under her leadership, the organization is relaunching in Fall 2025 with a revitalized mission and new visual branding strategy.

While a student at Tufts University, and under the mentorship of philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett, Chennie explored the work of Hilary Putnam, developing a foundation in the philosophical underpinnings related to the development of large language models (LLMs). 

She holds an Associate of Science (AS) in Architectural Studies from Boston Architectural College, a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, and a Master of Arts (MA) in modern Chinese art historiography from the City University of New York. Additionally, she has studied Brand Management at London Business School and Logic for Economists at the University of Amsterdam.

Her family’s intellectual heritage and political history have shaped her curiosity and resilience.
