Stacy-Marie Ishmael is a journalist from Trinadad. She has worked for the Financial Times and Buzzfeed.

At the Financial Times (FT), Ishmael started Alphaville, one of the FT's first blogs.[1] Business Insider described her work as "ridiculously knowledgeable" as well as "great on camera," appearing in segments for CNBC. After five years at FT, Ishmael departed for technology company Percolate,[2] but returned to the FT in 2013 where she became vice-president for communities,[3] working with the FT Live series that produces 200 events a year.[4]

Ishmael moved to Buzzfeed in 2014[5] as managing editor of mobile news as the company developed a news app, which launched in June 2015.[6] She has also been a regular guest on Buzzfeed's popular podcast Another Round, hosting a segment called "Stacy's Career Corner". The Frisky praised Ishmael's advice for negotiations as "absolutely required listening for anyone who’s ever been afraid of walking into a room and asking for what they want"[7] and said her recurring segment "is competent, clear-headed and extremely useful. It’s the kind of advice you wish you had when faced with a work challenge; it’s the advice you want when navigating the trenches of a workplace peppered with microaggressions and untoward overtures...It’s the kind of advice I wish I’d had when I was a young person figuring out how to navigate a world that they don’t prepare you for in college."[8]

In 2016-2017 Ishmael is a John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford.[9]
