Patrick Cooper is a Senior Director of Audience Products at NPR. He possess expertise in journalism, digital media, new media, storytelling, content strategy and 14 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Patrick doesn't just get things done, he gets AMAZING things done. During our time at NPR he was the creative product genius behind many innovations on npr.org and the impeccable leader taking cross-functional teams to masterful execution of ambitious plans, all the way into breakout successes. I really enjoyed every moment of working with Patrick and hope to get to do it again, in the future." and "Watching Patrick go from being The Intern We Know We'll All Work For Someday at washingtonpost.com to one of the primary forces behind NPR's digital evolution has been among the most impressive professional trajectories I have ever followed. He offers a rare combination of experience and talent, including his editorial background as one of USA Today's original breaking news bloggers; his in-the-trenches knowledge of the tools journalists need to create, present and deliver stories; and his seemingly natural abilities as a leader who can bridge the disciplines it takes to operate a digital news organization (journalism, development, design, product development...). More rare is Patrick's instinctive focus on audience needs and product strategy. While I was theoretically above Patrick in NPR's org chart, I learned so much from him and watching how he does his work. Patrick is the Future in a Box."
