Sadie Gennis is an editorial leader and content strategist with a background in entertainment, culture, and games media.

Formerly the managing editor of Polygon, she specializes in editorial operations and providing strategic guidance to newsrooms to grow and engage their audience across platforms. She previously worked at TV Guide, where she oversaw editorial and video strategy, along with tentpole projects and packages. Her work has also appeared in Vulture, Variety, and Bustle.

Her editorial career has been focused on entertainment, games, and culture coverage, but she loves learning about new topics and using data to deepen her understanding of different audiences and their unique needs. Before working at Polygon, she hadn’t even played a video game in over a decade, but her work there inspired a personal obsession with Baldur’s Gate 3, and she’s now a member of a long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

She loves color-coded spreadsheets, reality shows, sci-fi and fantasy novels, celebrity gossip, and anime. When she isn’t taking photos of her cats, she’s probably doing embroidery.
