About Me

Whitney Milam Portrait

My story began in Los Angeles, where I learned how powerful a good story can be when it’s crafted well and told at the right moment. I started out writing and producing scripted content and campaigns for studios like Sony, Marvel, and Lionsgate, before deciding I wanted to apply those same storytelling skills to work that shapes the world beyond the screen.

 

Since then, I’ve spent the past decade building brands, leading digital strategy, and shaping narratives at the intersection of technology, policy, and public impact – from political and climate advocacy organizations to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and now, fusion energy startups. I currently lead brand and content at Proxima Fusion, translating complex science into stories that inspire action and move big ideas forward.

My work has taken me from Hollywood to Washington to Europe, shaping stories for global audiences across cultures and borders – always driven by big-picture impact and purpose.
