Bloomberg State Radio, interview with Grip Mobility's CEO Juliette Kayyem

by Juliette Kayyem | March 2021

Juliette serves as CNN Senior National Security Analyst for CNN where she has been described as CNN’s “go to” for disasters. She is a contributing writer to The Atlantic and has a weekly security segment on NPR’s Boston station WGBH. Her most recent book, The Devil Never Sleeps: Learning to Live in an Age of Disasters, was described in a New Yorker profile of her as an “engagingly urgent blueprint for rethinking our approach to disaster preparedness and response.” She is the recipient of many government honors, including the Distinguished Public Service Award, the Coast Guard’s highest medal awarded to a civilian. In 2013, she was named the Pulitzer Prize finalist for editorial columns in the Boston Globe focused on ending the Pentagon’s combat exclusion rule against women, a policy that was changed that year. She won the Telly Award in 2021 for “excellence in a digital series” for her online documentaries with MyRadar.com on climate change. 

Juliette is a frequent speaker and advisor to major corporations, associations, sports, entertainment and education entities on national and homeland security risks, planning for a crisis, cybersecurity and resiliency efforts. From 2020-2022, she served as faculty for a joint effort with Bloomberg Philanthropies and Harvard University to train mayors and city leaders for pandemic planning. Juliette was named Inc. Magazine’s top 100 Female Founders in 2019 and received the Lifetime Achievement Pinnacle Award from the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce in 2023.
