Biography

Zoe Kleinman – BBC Technology Editor, Presenter, Event Host, Moderator, Technology Keynote Speaker on Artificial Intelligence, Innovation and Trends.

Zoe Kleinman is a trailblazing journalist who made history as the BBC’s first Technology Editor in 2021. With nearly 20 years of broadcasting experience, she has become a leading voice in making complex tech topics accessible to mainstream audiences across national and international platforms. From her engaging segments on Radio 4’s “Today” programme to her appearances on the BBC’s other flagship news shows, Zoe covers a wide range of subjects, including artificial intelligence, gadgets and the intricacies of cybersecurity.

Her adventurous spirit shines through in her reporting, having raced drones in the Nevada desert, tested a computer made out of living cells and spent the night in a house full of robots.

In 2023, she played a pivotal role in the BBC’s coverage of the UK government’s AI Safety Summit, showcasing her ability to tackle critical issues in the tech world. Zoe’s insightful interviews with the world’s leading tech bosses, including Apple’s Tim Cook, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Google Deepmind’s Sir Demis Hassabis, along with her exclusive reports on topics such as cryptocurrency and gaming, have made her a respected authority in her field.

Zoe'S

Testimonials

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 professional 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 moderated a breakfast panel discussion for us focusing on managing cyber security crises, bringing together IT, operational, legal and communications experts. Zoe brought an incredible amount to the conversation, asking insightful poignant questions which allowed the cross-functional experts to share intelligence that resonated with the audience. Her unrivalled finger-on-the-pulse observations on who had got it right, and wrong, and how journalists would respond added credence to the discussion. Following our great experience on this project, we also interviewed Zoe to understand burning technology trends that matter to her audience, to inform a wider thought leadership piece for a board level client. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed working together.

Zoe was a consummate professional - our audience is very technical, but her experience in this field shone through, as she was able to explain all the technical language in the questions without batting an eyelid. She had the perfect balance of gravitas and fun, and her live broadcasting credentials meant she was able to cope with the complexities of multiple messages behind the scenes, ensure her own audio lines were correct, and keep the whole segment exactly on time.
