Ed Zitron

Ed Zitron is an influential, no-holds-barred tech industry analyst and host of the fast-growing podcast Better Offline, which was named one of the best podcasts of 2024 by Esquire, Vulture and The Information. With over 500,000 newsletter subscribers, Zitron has quickly become known for his incisive and entertaining approach to giving leaders and organizations what they need to hear – and not necessarily what they want to hear.

Founder and CEO of EZPR, a national tech and business public relations agency, and author of the forthcoming book “Why Everything Stopped Working” (Portfolio, 2026) Zitron is leading the charge against the tech industry’s broken growth-at-all-costs mindset. Drawing on years of experience in tech, media and PR, he explains why the current venture capital-driven AI and startup ecosystem is unsustainable and reveals steps for getting back to being a company that creates products people love and are happy to use.

In his memorable presentations, Zitron helps organizations and investors reorient toward stability, resilience and generating real value. His message resonates across sectors and industries: the unlimited growth bubble is breaking, and the time to build smarter is now.
