Kara Swisher.

Kara Swisher is one of the most influential technology journalists of the past three decades and the Founder of Recode (acquired by Vox Media), which she built into one of the most respected technology news publications in America.

Swisher previously co-founded D: All Things Digital conference with Walt Mossberg, creating one of the most prestigious technology conferences where major industry figures including Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg appeared for extensive interviews. She currently hosts the On With Kara Swisher podcast and co-hosts Pivot with Scott Galloway, both reaching millions of listeners weekly. Her interviews with technology CEOs and political figures are renowned for their unflinching questioning and insider knowledge. Swisher is the author of multiple books and contributor to major publications including The New York Times. She has been credited with being among the first journalists to treat technology companies with the scrutiny previously reserved for Wall Street-recognizing that Silicon Valley had become too powerful to be covered as a lifestyle or feature beat. Her combination of building media businesses and setting the standard for technology journalism makes her both a significant entrepreneur and cultural force.
