Feature
Dylan Tweney is an editor at large at VentureBeat, a former Wired editor, and an award-winning tech journalist.
At VentureBeat, he managed a global news team of more than a dozen staff journalists and countless freelancers from 2011-2015. During that period, the editorial staff doubled, while the site's audience more than quadrupled, from 1.5 million to 6.5 million monthly visitors.
He writes the site's “Dylan’s Desk” column, which is a weekly series on Silicon Valley, the tech industry, and the impact of technology on business strategy.
Previously, he was a senior editor at Wired, leading the publication’s gadget and business blogs and, briefly, its science blog. Prior to Wired, he worked at three different content startups and wrote widely read columns for national magazines Business 2.0 and InfoWorld.
