Tina Brown is an award-winning journalist, editor, author and currently founder and CEO of Tina Brown Live Media, a company dedicated to summits, salons, flash forums and debates. TBLM will expand nationally and internationally the annual Women in the World Summit at New York's Lincoln Center, launched by Brown in 2010. The summit convenes extraordinary leaders such as Meryl Streep, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie and Christine Lagarde as well as inspirational activists and political change-makers from all over the world to come and share their stories, and offer solutions to building a better life for women and girls. Prior to this, in October 2008 Brown launched and edited the award-winning digital news site The Daily Beast. Between 1979 and 2001, she was editor-in-chief of Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Talk—and later Newsweek in 2011. She also authored the 2007 best-selling biography of the Princess of Wales, The Diana Chronicles. In 2000, she was awarded the honor of Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth for her services to journalism. She is married to editor, publisher and historian Sir Harold Evans and lives in New York City.
