In 2006, Haot founded GroundReport, a global crowdsourced news startup.[3] She also served as an adjunct professor of Social Media and Entrepreneurship at Columbia Business School.[4] In 2012, she was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum,[5] and serves on the digital advisory boards of Women@NBCU[6] and the 2014 Super Bowl Hosting Committee.[citation needed] She was recognized by Fortune in 2013 as a "40 under 40"[7] and by Forbes in 2012 as part of their annual "30 under 30" list of "young disruptors, innovators and entrepreneurs"[8]

In 2011, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg named Haot to the post of Chief Digital Officer. Her responsibilities include relaunching and leading the user experience of the new nyc.gov official City website, implementing initiatives to support technology sector growth, developing the City's official digital roadmap,[9] expanding the reach of city-subsidized free Wi-Fi in city parks and subways and working with graduate schools to train more engineers. [10] In May 2012, Haot and Mayor Bloomberg unveiled the Made in NY Digital Map, an interactive map that shows the locations of over 1,300 technology companies in New York City, and allows users to filter by hiring companies, visit job listings and add new startups to the map.[11] Currently the City of New York's Digital Roadmap focuses on five areas: Internet infrastructure, STEM education, open data, online engagement and tech sector support.

Haot was interviewed by WNYC in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, where she detailed the efforts her office was undertaking to bring the city back to its feet from a digital infrastructure standpoint, especially in Lower Manhattan.[12] Haot also spearheaded the City's first official hackathon, Reinvent NYC.GOV,[13] and the Reinvent Payphones Design Challenge, a competition sponsored by NYC Digital to promote the re-purposing of New York City’s public pay telephones.[14][15] In February 2013, Haot and Mayor Bloomberg introduced We Are Made in NY, an economic development initiative to support tech sector growth in New York City.[16]
