About

Joe is a San Francisco–based writer whose professional career has spanned three decades as a marketing, brand, and creative leader. His work has shaped employee experiences and brand identities for organizations across industries, while his personal story has been equally defined by thirty years of intensive psychotherapy — a lifelong practice that informs both his perspective and his writing. An excerpt of his debut memoir, Another Generation Ruined, will appear in fall 2025, and his photography has been published in the Boston Globe. A member of the Authors Guild, O’Donnell is currently on sabbatical to focus on writing.
