BIo

Penn Javdan is a Toronto-based writer whose work spans copywriting, executive communications, journalism, and film. 

​

He has written for brands such as KPMG, Samsung, and REMAX.

 

His background in philosophy and storytelling has drawn him toward founders and executives: how they solve problems, make consequential decisions, and respond when life or business takes an unexpected turn.

 

Penn also writes atmospheric fiction about people confronting a world where power, technology, and uncertainty collide. 

​

He is completing a PhD in political philosophy at the university of toronto, and takes on select teaching and consulting engagements in communications.

 

Penn has lived all over: Tehran, Paris, New York, Los Angeles— and maybe someday the moon.
