biography

Zoe Kleinman is the BBC’s first ever Technology Editor, appointed to the role in 2021. With over 20 years broadcasting experience, Zoe has spent most of her career as a specialist presenter and reporter covering all areas of the tech agenda. She has also presented BBC Radio 4’s PM Programme.

From gadgets and games to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, she makes tech news accessible to a mainstream audience of millions across national and international BBC Radio, TV and online outlets including Radio 4’s Today programme, BBC World TV and the UK’s most watched news shows.

Zoe has raced drones in the Nevada desert, taken a backseat drive in a driverless car, spent the night in a house full of robots and climbed Mount Everest in Virtual Reality.

She’s reported on Elon Musk’s controversial takeover at Twitter, the volatile world of cryptocurrency, the gender bias in Silicon Valley, Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal, and her exclusive reports about the parents whose children accidentally spend thousands of pounds inside video and mobile games was discussed by politicians and led to a parliamentary committee hearing on gaming and gambling.

Zoe’s wider journalistic skills are hugely respected across the BBC and in 2020 Zoe was asked to work as a senior journalist on the BBC News team covering the Covid-19 pandemic.

A confident and entertaining speaker who is in demand as a host, chair, panellist and lecturer, Zoe’s expertise and knowledge of the tech sector is brought to life by her engaging style. Her networking skills and ability to engage with people from all walks of life ensure many repeat bookings.

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 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, Royal Institution

Public Programme Manager

"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

"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."
