Kaci Aitchison BoyleSteam Team/CommunicationsValve

Kaci's experience in communications spans almost three decades, which she didn't realize was that long until sitting down to type this. Her work at Valve spans everything from Steam communications with players and developers, to press and public communications around hardware and game launches. Before joining Valve in 2019, Kaci worked in radio and television as a reporter and host. Live TV turned out to be a quick way to learn how to find creative and genuine ways to share stories with a wide variety of audiences and, fun fact, gave strangers a chance to tell her how ugly her outfit might be that day! Kaci also has a background in improv comedy, which won't be apparent much today but which her husband and two young daughters would confirm (with a roll of the eyes). When not convincing her family she's funny you can find her doing puzzles, skiing in the winter, and going to bed early.
