Hello, I’m Abbi Press

For as long as I can remember, I've lived in two worlds.

One is the world of advertising and marketing—a world of talent contracts, legal disclaimers, and Super Bowl commercials, all driven by creative vision. I've spent over 15 years as a leader in Business Affairs here, and my job has always been to be the bridge between ambitious ideas and business reality. I build the frameworks that allow creativity to thrive safely and at scale, and I'm proud to lead this function at Uber.

The other is the world of intuition, melody, and emotion. It's the world of the recording studio and the quiet moments of songwriting. A musician my entire life, I've been immersed in the hands-on, often messy, process of creating something from nothing. This world has taught me that the most valuable intellectual property isn't a legal clause; it's the fragile, human spark of a new idea.

For years, I saw these as parallel paths. I always knew my creativity was my superpower in a role like Business Affairs—it gave me an understanding of the process that few had. But I've come to realize my career has not been a single ladder, but a double helix. The discipline of the corporate world has sharpened my artistic practice, and the creative intuition of the studio has made me a better, more empathetic business leader.

Now, those two paths have fully converged. We are at a historic intersection of technology and creativity, and my focus is on the critical space where AI, compliance, and artistry meet. This new frontier requires not just a business mind or an artist's heart, but a deep, integrated understanding of both.

My mission is to help pioneer the frameworks for this new era—to ensure that as we innovate, we do so responsibly, ethically, and in a way that empowers the human creators at the heart of it all.

Whether you're here because of my work in business or my work in music, thank you for being part of the journey. Let's connect and explore what's next, together.
