Parisa Khosravi Biography

Parisa Khosravi is a keynote speaker, a strategic adviser, and a multi-award-winning veteran journalist and news executive. With over three decades of experience on the global stage, Khosravi has first-hand experience dealing with world leaders, dignitaries, and high-ranking officials across the globe, and opening doors to difficult and dangerous parts of the world where freedom of speech is in no way guaranteed.

Khosravi speaks on the topic of compassionate leadership to audiences across private and public sectors. Her speeches, which often emphasize giving a voice to the voiceless, draw in audiences by sharing personal and historic stories, focusing on empathy, compassion, and the power of finding one's voice. Her motto is: you never know what is inside someone until you give them a chance. She has also spoken at events such as the OC Global Women's Conference and NAZC, highlighting her expertise on leadership, crisis and risk management, cultural competency, and women in leadership.

Throughout her career as Senior Vice President for international newsgathering, national newsgathering, global relations and the first ever ambassador for CNN Worldwide, Khosravi directed historic coverage of countless award-winning news stories. This included Tiananmen Square, the live coverage of both Iraq Wars, the Fall of the East Bloc, the End of Apartheid, the genocide in Rwanda, 9-11, and Hurricane Katrina. She led CNN’s coverage of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, the earthquake in Haiti, the attempted airline terror attack over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009, and the tsunami disaster in South Asia. She also oversaw the Peabody and Emmy Award-winning coverage of the uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, including the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. She left CNN in 2015.

Khosravi has a reputation for being a strategic leader who managed CNN’s international affiliate operation with more than 200 affiliates worldwide and increased CNN’s international newsgathering capabilities by expanding the number of bureaus and correspondents globally. She is a recognized expert on crisis and risk management, particularly known for safely leading teams through conflicts and natural disasters. Khosravi served on the board of the International News Safety Institute and the International Women’s Media Foundation and continues to influence through her insights on compassionate leadership and strategic communication in journalism and media.

Parisa Khosravi Speaking Topics

Innovation

Parisa has enjoyed one of the more challenging and dynamic careers with nearly three decades of international experience and helped build CNN, the original 24/7 news network, to one of the most recognized and respected global brands. This is how CNN lauded Parisa upon her departure: “No one has played a greater role in emergence and then dominance of CNN international news gathering than Parisa.”

Ted Turner’s vision changed the world as we knew it and CNN became a house hold name which has been admired and modeled again and again around the world. Parisa calls CNN the original social media.

Parisa talks about behind the scene stories and some of the most historic and memorable news events of our times and what it took to cover them.
Cuba

Parisa travelled to Cuba for years for CNN in order to keep CNN’s bureau effective and operational. Parisa talks about what you should know about the country as the U.S. and Cuba prepare to normalize relations after decades.

Iran

Parisa was born in Iran and left for the United States during the 1979 Revolution as a young teenager. She has travelled to Iran a number of times as a journalist to cover a variety of news stories for CNN. There is not enough known about Iran beside its politics. In light of some of the possible openings between the U.S. and Iran, what are some key historical facts and cultural values you should know about Iran if you want to do business there? Parisa talks about some of those important considerations.

How We Covered the World

The way the world’s most significant and dangerous stories get covered has substantially changed in the past three decades, especially in two areas: technology and safety/security.

Nowadays you can essentially do a live shot from anywhere in the world with your smart phone. It wasn’t that long ago that journalists had to haul around a two thousand pound satellite dish to be able to transmit live from remote places. Parisa once diverted a commercial airliner to make an unscheduled landing to pick up CNN journalists and equipment so that they could get to a breaking story on-time.

Determination, perseverance and resourcefulness is what made it happen.

Sadly, journalists have become the biggest targets in some of the conflicts around the world and are sometimes taken hostage or worse.

How are they kept safe and prepare to go to some of the world’s most dangerous places and cover the most horrific stories such as Syria?

Parisa talks about how to overcome some of these most distressing challenges. Parisa’s experience in safely leading CNN teams through conflicts and natural disasters has made her a recognized authority on crisis and risk management.

Journalism and Media Communication

How do you get your message across as an effective communicator in a very crowded field? Whether you want to break through as a journalist in the business of journalism or want to clearly communicate your message in any business to the the world, Parisa shares with you her in-depth knowledge and experience as a journalist and as an executive.

Women in Leadership

While not naive or in denial about some of the challenges women and minorities face, Parisa talks about how she focused her energy on what she could control. If some people she dealt with had a perception issue with a woman in charge, then that was their problem, not hers. Parisa talks about some of the most difficult challenges she dealt with as a leader at a global organization and how she tackled them.
