The Conversation Thread
Kelly Wallace, a former broadcast news journalist and mother of two, became so passionate about women’s issues and the power of women online, she left network news for the digital space to join iVillage as its Chief Correspondent and Executive Director of Digital Video.
In her new role, she serves as host and executive producer for video content focusing on issues women care about most, including iVillage 5/Your Don’t Miss List, a weekly show featuring stories women might have missed or, we think, would love to hear more about and The Conversation Thread, also weekly, featuring a robust roundtable of opinionated women discussing the issues women are talking about online. She’s also executive producer of iVoices on iVillage, the brand’s unique franchise featuring 25 real women (and men!) contributing video stories on the issues they care about most.
Kelly’s career has spanned across news divisions at CBS, CNN and FOX News Channel. She’s covered everything from the White House (her favorite reporting beat!) to the Mideast to national campaigns, and enjoyed serving as substitute anchor on shows from CNN’s American Morning to the CBS Weekend News. In high school, she dreamed of becoming a television reporter, and years later got her start as an on-air reporter at the CBS affiliate (KRQE-TV) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. That post led to a correspondent position at FOX News Channel and then to CNN and CBS.
After the birth of her first daughter five years ago, Kelly grew incredibly passionate about issues affecting moms and became a contributor to PLUM, the first-ever pregnancy and parenting magazine for women 35 years and older.
Two years ago, she decided she needed to find a way to play a full-time role in the women’s digital space. Her journey took her to iVillage.
Born in Brooklyn, Kelly graduated magna cum laude from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor of sciences degree in economics. She lives in New York City with her husband and two daughters.
