Theresa Loconsolo, tech producer at TechCrunch, has been living up to her producer title with amazing clips and sound work on the network’s flagship podcast, Equity. Loconsolo, who grew up in New Jersey and is now based in New York City, has a rich and varied background that she draws on in her new position. She received a bachelor’s degree in Communication from Monmouth University. This animation education helped give her the skills she needed to produce work as powerful as her audio journalism today.
Loconsolo’s career is highlighted by years in the tech media landscape. Prior to coming over to TechCrunch, she honed her reporting skills down the hall at Adweek. There, she zeroed in on emerging technologies and industry trends. She was a senior editor at VentureBeat. In that position, she did the day-to-day work of implementing content strategies and informing editorial decisions.
Further, Loconsolo has a gained an additional unique perspective having previously served as the local government reporter at the Hollister Free Lance. Her lived experience has shaped her perspective on how technology meets the road of public policy and governance. Before joining the Lab, she was vice president of content at a venture capital firm. Working in this role provided her key perspectives on the investment side of the tech industry.
In her new position at TechCrunch, Loconsolo is dedicated to Equity, which cast light on the most important financial happenings in the world of technology. She’s been super collaborative with her staff. It’s a great conversation featuring Anthony Ha, weekend editor at TechCrunch, and Max Zeff, a reporter who co-hosted this week’s Equity with Ha. Zeff’s pedigree is indeed formidable. He went on to produce, report and anchor impactful segments at Gizmodo, Bloomberg and MSNBC, where he reported on emergencies such as the artificial intelligence boom and the Silicon Valley Bank collapse.
The partnership between Loconsolo and Zeff is the perfect combination to produce the high-impact, smart, audience-connecting, quick-turn content TechCrunch prides itself on producing. The recent Equity episode provides an excellent example of their commitment to tackling tough topics that are reverberating through the tech ecosystem.
