Tiffany brings to us a résumé of creative and organizational leadership experience that will bring this project to the next level.” Tiffany is a cultural strategist, artist, and producer with nearly two decades of experience spanning the US intelligence community, non-profit leadership, and global corporate and artistic collaborations. A former leadership analyst and content manager at the Central Intelligence Agency, she has led creative teams, produced global events, and advised leaders across sectors—from technology and agriculture to the arts. In 2021, she founded Artistic Leadership, a consultancy helping organizations unleash creative collaboration in service of culture. “Tiffany brings a rare mix of artistic imagination, strategic insight, and cross-cultural agility to Comment’s leadership,” says Snyder. “Her life’s work has been to bridge worlds—across sectors, disciplines, and cultures—in ways that make beauty, and the truth of human dignity, more visible. I am eager for the ways her presence will strengthen our editorial voice, deepen our engagement with readers, and help weave together the many strands of Comment’s growing ecosystem into a coherent, hope-filled witness.” In addition to its quarterly print editions published for over two decades, *Comment *has expanded to include a podcast network, online essays, and public events. In May 2026, the magazine will host the inaugural Understory Festival at the Washington National Cathedral—a three-day gathering of artists, scholars, and institutional leaders offering a hopeful vision for cultural and spiritual renewal. The magazine’s audience includes public figures, institutional leaders, public intellectuals, cultural influencers, bridge-builders, and next-generation leaders. In 2024, *Comment *published a manifesto outlining its vision of Christian humanism, guiding its editorial direction and community-building efforts. “Although the hiring process took a bit longer than we hoped, that was due to the overwhelming number of applicants, many of whom were very qualified and hirable,” noted Pennings. “It’s a pleasant problem that is a sign of the vibrancy of the *Comment* community, and the process helped us refine the articulation of where we were heading and which skill sets would be most valuable. We are confident that Tiffany’s joining the team represents a significant benchmark in our anticipated growing impact.”   Learn more about Comment's team at [https://comment.org/about-us/](https://comment.org/about-us/).     ### #### About Comment Comment is a magazine of public theology and one of the core publications of Cardus, a non-partisan think tank dedicated to clarifying and strengthening, through research and dialogue, the ways in which society’s institutions can work together for the common good.
