TechCrunch’s Rising Stars Shine in AI and Podcasting

TechCrunch continues to bolster its team with prominent figures making significant contributions to technology journalism and media production. Kirsten Korosec, Maxwell Zeff, and Theresa Loconsolo are leading in the tech world. They aren’t just passive recipients—they help drive the discourse, especially with all the new announcements coming out.

Kirsten Korosec is a senior transportation reporter for TechCrunch, based in the Bay Area. She’s an important force for reporting on the most pressing issues, especially when it comes to money and tech. A few weeks ago, she—and fellow equity nerds Maxwell Zeff and Anthony Ha—unpacked Nvidia’s eye-popping earnings on their flagship podcast, Equity. Our third episode focused on Nvidia’s impressive bottom line and what this means for the changing tech landscape overall.

Maxwell Zeff is a senior reporter covering artificial intelligence. He now lives in New York City and currently dives deep into the complexities of AI’s rise. He digs into its effects on industries including finance, particularly in light of recent crises including that of Silicon Valley Bank. Prior to coming to TechCrunch, Zeff honed the experience and instincts of a tech reporter during his years at Adweek. He further served as senior editor at VentureBeat. He brings a unique mix of experiences, including his years as a local government reporter at the Hollister Free Lance. Separately, he was vice president of content at a major venture capital firm.

Theresa Loconsolo adds her audio production talents to the TechCrunch team, working primarily on the Equity podcast. Originally from New Jersey, Loconsolo earned her bachelor’s degree in Communication from Monmouth University. In addition to her current work at Tech Policy Press, her past experience includes working with such heavy-hitters as Gizmodo, Bloomberg, and MSNBC. Loconsolo’s technical knowledge has improved the production quality of all audio content TechCrunch creates, letting them engage their listeners on a greater level.

Both Korosec and Zeff are eager contributors to the Equity podcast, in which they explore big issues of the day in tech. Together their artistry and analytic skills deliver ears-on the ground analysis and intelligent commentary about the world around us that is impacting the technology sphere.
