Josh Lederman is an Emmy Award-winning TV correspondent, strategic communications leader, and global affairs analyst who helps institutions navigate and communicate in a volatile world. Through Satori, he has trained EU ambassadors, CEOs, and technology executives for their highest-stakes moments; directed crisis communications for an international NGO during the Iran war; and counseled trade associations and nonprofits on strategic messaging and reputational risk. He is a frequent public speaker and on-air analyst on BBC News, MS NOW, and other networks.

That counsel is built on fifteen years at the center of global media and statecraft. As a foreign correspondent for NBC News, Josh reported from more than 40 countries for NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and Meet the Press. He reported live from the U.S. Capitol throughout the January 6, 2021 attacks, earning an Emmy Award with his NBC colleagues for outstanding live breaking news coverage.

A White House correspondent across the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations, first for The Associated Press, he traveled extensively aboard Air Force One and covered global crises, high-stakes summits, and the diplomacy behind them from the State Department and foreign capitals. He won the White House Correspondents' Association's Merriman Smith Award for excellence in presidential coverage under deadline pressure, and maintains an extensive network across conservative and liberal political circles and throughout U.S. and global media.

Josh served as a resident fellow at Princeton University's Center for International Security Studies, where his research centered on AI and tech policy, global security challenges and U.S.-China competition.
