Courtney came of age professionally in New York’s emerging dot-com scene, starting out as a web designer before becoming a reporter and columnist for @NY, one of the era’s most-read industry publications. Her column, @The Scene, covered the personalities and companies building what everyone had started calling Silicon Alley, and quickly became one of the publication’s most-followed sections.

In 1998, she launched her own weekly newsletter, Courtney Pulitzer’s Cyber Scene, dedicated to the people, trends, and events driving the internet industry. At its peak the newsletter reached more than 75,000 readers, with a pass-along audience that stretched well beyond that number, at a time when almost nobody had built a media brand that way.

From there she built Cocktails with Courtney, a personally branded networking series that grew from a monthly New York gathering into events across sixteen U.S. cities, plus London and Cannes. She produced the first annual Silicon Alley Black-Tie Benefit, with proceeds helping high schools close the digital divide, and eventually ran a staff of five alongside a national and international team of freelance reporters.

In 2002 she moved to Paris, got married, had a son, and kept producing events through a French-American association. She later settled in Tucson, Arizona, where she relaunched Cocktails with Courtney, returned to the stage as an actor, and now leads public relations for Sandoval Creative while studying venture capital through the Venture Institute.
