About

I’m CNBC’s Senior Technology Correspondent, reporting on the forces shaping our digital future, from the rise of AI and crypto to the geopolitics of semiconductors and China’s tech ambitions. My goal is simple: to make sense of the tech shaping our world by breaking down the complex topics and turning them into stories that are clear, engaging, and useful. I believe journalism should do more than inform — it should spark curiosity, start conversations, and help people feel confident navigating change. I work across platforms — TV, digital, podcasts, and social media — to bring stories to where our audiences are. Whether it’s a live hit on CNBC TV, a deep-dive on Beyond the Valley, or sharp analysis on LinkedIn, I’m constantly adapting to the pulse of the ever-changing media landscape. Over the past decade, I’ve interviewed some of the most influential figures in tech, including Huawei’s Ren Zhengfei, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and some of the most prominent startup founders and investors. My reporting has reached millions of viewers and readers globally. I've also moderated panels at leading events like Web Summit and London Tech Week. I’m always chasing what’s next, not just reporting the news, but spotting the trends before they become headlines. I love making sense of the complex and turning it into something clear, engaging, and useful for anyone curious about where tech is headed. Got a story worth telling or an idea that’s shaping the future of tech? I’m always up for a good conversation, whether you’re building something bold, thinking big, or just want to chat about where the industry’s headed.
