The host of the Term Sheet podcast, she’s also been a frequent moderator at major conferences like SXSW and regular contributor to the BBC. Before Fortune, Allie covered Amazon, Google, and Meta at Yahoo Finance and helped produce Emmy-nominated PBS Frontline documentaries, including Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover and The Power of the Fed.
