Taline Badrikian is a first-generation Armenian-American digital marketing executive, entrepreneur, and children’s book author based in the Greater Boston area. With over 25 years of experience in brand strategy, she has served as an Adjunct Professor at Boston University and holds the role of Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.
