Senior Project Officer, Technology Innovation Partnerships, New Jersey Economic Development Authority
Lucy Partman is the senior project officer on the technology innovation partnerships team at the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. In this role, she works to cultivate and connect the state’s innovation ecosystem. Partman’s career is rich with research, communications, operations and strategy experience across non-profits, higher education and the private sector. She’s a specialist at wearing many hats and someone you call when you don’t know what to do next. Highly ambiguous terrain is her favorite space to navigate. Partman studies how humans experience technologies — from visual art and clothing to microscopes and digital platforms — and how these tools impact how we feel, behave and think. She sees the arts as practical and potent tools that help us navigate the vast complexity of being human, look at ourselves and the world in new ways and discover connections.
