Nadya Ichinomiya

Nadya serves as an Executive Director at Sony Pictures in the role of Head, Agile Center of Excellence, working with teams, executives, and the C-suite to improve their speed of execution in an industry tackling vast amounts of disruption.

After graduating from the USC Marshall School of Business, Nadya cut her teeth at IBM in sales management.

At 27, she leveraged her intimacy with the umlaut (aka her fluency in German) becoming VP of Electronic Data Systems Germany with full $33 million P&L responsibility and 150-person department, shattering a glass ceiling as the company's highest ranking woman in the region & youngest VP worldwide (117k employees.)

From Tech to Entertainment, she rebooted her career in the realm of nurturing/developing Creativity, both as a Hollywood TV producer for Bonnie Hunt (ABC's "Life With Bonnie”) and Literary Manager for author Kelle Hampton whose memoir “Bloom: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected” debuted #11 on the NY Times Bestseller List.

Eight years ago, Nadya co-founded the Women In Technology: Hollywood organization (WiTH) and serves as Chairwoman of the non-profit foundation 501c3. She leads a board of directors with members from Amazon Studios, Disney, Google, Lionsgate, and Paramount. WiTH is a cross media & entertainment initiative with 6000+ members from the major studios, with 6 committees, 100+ active volunteers and over $135,000 donated to local charities to build a pipeline of girls, women, and underrepresented people in the tech sector of entertainment. WiTH members create impact through being technology-career role models, mentors, and bold leaders.

She is also a board member of GAAD, (Global Accessibility Awareness Foundation) a nonprofit organization whose mission is to disrupt the culture of technology to include accessibility as a core requirement.

Nadya lives in Los Angeles with her husband David and their two sons Mingus and Spike. Fun facts: Nadya holds a boxing license in the states of California and Nevada and once started a presentation in front of 100 people including the CFO by breaking into song.
