Brad Stone
Technology journalist and author at Bloomberg LP
I run Bloomberg Technology, a team of more than 50 reporters and editors in Silicon Valley and around the world. We report for Bloomberg properties including the Bloomberg terminal, Bloomberg.com, Businessweek magazine and Bloomberg TV. Over the last seven years, I've also written over 30 cover stories for Businessweek on the major technology companies of our time and how they are impacting the way we work and live.
I'm also the author of the 2017 book, The Upstarts: Uber, Airbnb and the Battle for Silicon Valley, and the 2013 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller: The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon. That book has been translated into 30 languages and was chosen as the Financial Times-Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year. I'm currently working on a sequel.
