Emily Chang
Bestselling Author, Journalist, and Tech Industry Expert
Emily Chang is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, and one of Bloomberg’s leading voices on technology, business, and culture. As host and executive producer of "The Circuit with Emily Chang" and "Posthuman," she travels the world to meet the founders, innovators, and cultural icons shaping the future—and to explore what it means to be human in an age of extraordinary technological change. Over her career, Chang has interviewed some of the biggest names in business and beyond, from Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman to Reese Witherspoon, Stephen Curry, and Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.
For more than a decade, Chang anchored Bloomberg Technology, the network’s flagship daily program on innovation and the global tech industry. Her 2018 bestseller "Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley" exposed gender inequality in the tech world and became a rallying cry for inclusion in one of the most powerful sectors on earth. A strong advocate for women in the workforce, Chang has risen to prominence in a male-dominated field and shines a journalistic light on issues such as diversity, inclusivity, and the future of work. She also appeared as herself in several cameos on HBO’s hit show "Silicon Valley."
