Aubrey Bergauer

Hailed as “the Steve Jobs of classical music” (Observer), Aubrey Bergauer is known for her customer-centric, data-obsessed pursuit of changing the narrative for the arts. A “dynamic administrator” with an “unquenchable drive for canny innovation” (San Francisco Chronicle), she’s held offstage roles at major institutions including the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera, Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and as chief executive of the California Symphony. Bergauer’s ability to cast and communicate vision inspires and unifies, earning her “a reputation for coming up with great ideas and then realizing them” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Her work and leadership has been covered in the Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, and Southwest Airlines magazines, and she is a frequent speaker inside and outside the arts.
