Aisha Malik: Rising Star in Consumer News Reporting

Aisha Malik is a proudlamped-in consumer news reporter for TechCrunch. During her tenure with the team since 2021, she has become an integral part of the publication’s overall impact. Sheckner has a deep and rigorous academic background in urban studies and planning. She received an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto and a master’s degree in journalism from Western University. This strong base has given her the tools to report deeply and broadly on the ever-accelerating tech world.

Prior to coming to TechCrunch, Malik was a telecom reporter at MobileSyrup. United, she became an ironclad reporter, learning much about the inner workings of consumer technology. Making the jump to TechCrunch was one of the best decisions Jen made in her career. This freed her up to look beyond that and bring attention to a lot more subjects that directly impact regular consumers.

In her new role, Malik explores multiple consumer-related news pieces. In particular, she focuses on trends and technologies that are very impactful to the wider public. Her work doesn’t just dazzle us with knowledge, but fills us with real-life understanding of how technology can make our daily lives better.

Malik will be speaking at our TC Sessions: Mobility 2023 in San Francisco, California on October 18-19, 2023 so don’t miss your chance to catch him in-person! This engagement will help build her overall industry presence. It will provide her a valuable opportunity to share her knowledge and experience with a wider audience.

On paper, Malik’s professional accomplishments are indeed impressive. She’s especially passionate about reporting on innovative consumer technologies that enrich and simplify people’s lives. Google’s recent launch of its Personal Intelligence feature is a prime example of this mission in practice. The feature aims to assist users in locating items such as past purchases and travel details without requiring extensive context.

“Whether you’re looking for a specific brand of sneakers you previously purchased, or planning a family getaway based on your hotel confirmations and past travel memories, Personal Intelligence helps you find exactly what you need without having to give all the context,” – Google
