Kate O'Neill is an American author,[1] tech consultant,[2][3] and one of Netflix's first 100 employees.[4] She is the founder of a tech-consulting firm[5] KO Insights and host of The Tech Humanist Show.[6] O'Neill serves as a Wired contributing writer[7] and a regular speaker for companies within Silicon Valley.[8]

In 2018, she published her third book, "Tech Humanist."[8] The following year, O'Neill wrote an article on Wired about the 10-Year-Challenge Meme that went viral on Facebook, where people shared photos comparing their then-and-now photographs.[2] She speculates that the meme could have been used as a way to collect some photos to help train facial recognition algorithms.[9] Facebook denied the 10-Year-Challenge Meme was a form of social engineering.[10]

O'Neill was named as one of The Most Fashionable Women in the US, according to ThredUp.[11]
