Cyan Banister

edit

Cyan is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Zivity, and also a contributing writer for TechCrunch.

Cyan was born into a family of artists and grew up around paint, photography and music. From these beginnings, she developed a life-long appreciation for the arts that eventually inspired the Zivity platform. This platform she created is a new way for artists to profitably connect directly with their fans in the rapidly changing digital media landscape.

Cyan has held many leadership roles throughout her career, from leading technical operations teams in an enterprise software company to helping women master technology as CTO of a nonprofit organization.

As a side note, Cyan donates money every year to the world juggling federation, women’s division. She currently lives in Half Moon Bay, California with her husband Scott Banister.
