GUDEA Appoints Christine DiPietro as Chief of Staff

The appointment adds a seasoned startup operator to GUDEA's leadership team amid growing demand for AI-powered narrative intelligence.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GUDEA, the leading AI-powered narrative intelligence platform known as the "Storm Tracker for the Internet," today announced the appointment of Christine DiPietro as Chief of Staff. DiPietro will partner with CEO Keith Presley and the senior leadership team to keep teams aligned on shared priorities and drive key initiatives through execution.

DiPietro brings more than a decade of experience supporting CEOs in turning vision into execution at high-growth companies. Most recently an independent consultant to venture- and private equity-backed companies, she previously served as Chief of Staff at Iconic Moments, where she managed the Jackson Pollock Studio X Iconic Moments project, which generated $500,000 in revenue and extensive press coverage. As VP of Operations at a fintech startup, DiPietro built the operational infrastructure that scaled the company from $0 to $600 million in revenue and 60 to 600 team members within a 50-day time period. She has also held operations leadership roles at DocStation, Techstars and The Company Lab (CO.LAB), and received her MBA from the University of Cape Town.

"Our clients rely on GUDEA to spot emerging narratives early and respond before those conversations define public perception, and that work demands a team that moves just as fast," said Keith Presley, co-founder and CEO of GUDEA. "Christine has spent her career helping founders turn strategy into results. She brings the operational discipline to keep every part of GUDEA focused on delivering the intelligence our clients need, when they need it."

"What struck me about Keith and the GUDEA team is that they started with the problem, not the product. They built the technology around a real challenge brands face every day," said DiPietro. "I'm excited to bring that solution to more organizations."

DiPietro is based in Chattanooga, TN.
