I'm an experienced technology and business journalist overseeing an award-winning, 200-person newsroom. Some more details about me: • Founding team (employee #6) of Business Insider, a multi-billion-dollar digital media company. • My features and investigations have helped write the histories of today’s most valuable technology companies, including Airbnb, Uber, Pinterest, Snap, Twitter and Facebook. • Conducted news-making interviews with some of the world’s most powerful people, including Liz Cheney, Albert Bourla, Sheryl Sandberg, Nick Clegg, Melinda Gates, LeBron James and John Brennan. • Assigned/oversaw award-winning features recognized by Loeb, SABEW and NY Press Club. • Helped launched a subscription paywall that generates millions in revenue. • At age 30, became the youngest (and only woman) to run a global business publication. • In 2021, was named Fortune's youngest editor and first woman to helm the publication in its 92-year history
