Elisa Camahort Page

Known as the co-founder and COO of pioneering women’s media start-up BlogHer Inc., Elisa’s journey as an entrepreneur who raised venture capital and achieved a successful exit as part of an all-women founding team is one only a tiny number of women have been able to replicate. Elisa also served as a senior product executive in corporate tech before BlogHer and a founding CEO of a social-impact focused SaaS company post-BlogHer, and is a thought leader on building inclusive and values-driven companies, communities, coalitions, and communication strategies.

During her work with BlogHer, Elisa was named among Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs, Fast Company’s most influential women in technology, and as one of the most powerful people in new media by Fortune magazine, along with receiving the Anita Borg Institute Social Impact Award, and being named one of Folio’s Top Women in Media and a C-Suite Network Social Media Legend.

Since leaving BlogHer, Elisa published her debut book, Road Map for Revolutionaries: Resistance, Activism, and Advocacy for All, a handy guidebook providing practical tactics for engaging in everday activism and advocacy at all levels in today’s politically charged environment. The book, published by Ten Speed Press in September 2018, was an Amazon #1 New Release in the Political Advocacy category.

Elisa has delivered keynote presentations and led action-oriented workshops at events around the globe to audiences numbering in the thousands. A sampling of speaking engagements include TEDx, SXSW, INFORUM@Commonwealth Club, United State of Women, DLD Women, DENT, The What Summit, BlogHer, and the headquarters of companies such as Coca-Cola, Google, GoDaddy, LinkedIn, Guidewire, and Logitech. She has also conducted high-profile, headline-making celebrity interviews of such luminaries and thought leaders as Martha Stewart, Christy Turlington Burns, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian West, Tig Notaro, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Luvvie Ajayi, Gale Anne Hurd, Caterina Fake, and Guy Kawasaki.

Elisa now coaches and consults with entrepreneurs and organizational leaders, and her guiding principle is that Innovation + Empathy > Innovation + Efficiency.
