Biography

Zoe Kleinman, the BBC’s first-ever Technology Editor since 2021, brings over 20 years of broadcasting experience to her role. As a seasoned presenter and reporter, she covers a broad spectrum of the tech landscape, making complex technology news accessible to millions. Her expertise spans from gadgets and games to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI), and her work is featured across national and international BBC outlets, including Radio 4’s Today programme, BBC World TV, and the UK’s top news shows.

Zoe has had unique experiences such as racing drones in the Nevada desert, experiencing a driverless car, staying overnight in a house full of robots, and climbing Mount Everest in Virtual Reality. In 2023, she led the BBC’s coverage of the UK government’s AI Safety Summit. Among the tech luminaries she has interviewed is Apple CEO Tim Cook. Her investigative reporting includes Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, the volatile world of cryptocurrency, gender bias in Silicon Valley, and the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal. Her exclusive stories on children accidentally spending thousands on in-game purchases sparked political debate and a parliamentary committee hearing on gaming and gambling.

In 2020, Zoe’s journalistic skills were further recognized when she joined the BBC News team as a senior journalist covering the Covid-19 pandemic.

Zoe is a sought-after keynote speaker, moderator, and panelist. Her engaging style, deep knowledge of the tech sector, and ability to connect with diverse audiences make her a favorite for repeat bookings. Her keynote topics include Artificial Intelligence, Innovation, and Tech Trends.

“I invited Zoe to introduce a talk from Vint Cerf, one of the founding fathers of the internet. As he is a high-profile speaker, we required a host with a deep knowledge and experience of the tech sector. Zoe was fantastic throughout. She was well-prepared beforehand, completely profes-sional on-stage and a delight to work with off-stage. I would not hesitate to recommend her to host any live talk or panel discussion. I hope to see her at the Royal Institution again soon.” Martin Davies, Public Programme Manager, Royal Institution
“Zoe, thank you SO much for the brilliant job you did chairing Digital Day today. You kept us all on track and your knowledge and expertise was spot on for the Q&A. I realise it was quite full on with little break for you, so thank you for your time, commitment and energy!” Elise MacDonald, Joint Managing Director, Lux Events
“We loved having Zoe hosting our Cyber Security Festival. She ensured the audience were super engaged throughout the day and handled the event with enormous skill, tapping into her own expertise.” Tom Allen, Incisive Media
