Jessica Lessin Biography

Jessica Lessin, the editor-in-chief of the technology website "The Information," has an extensive background in media and technology. Her career started with an eight-year stint at the Wall Street Journal, where she covered technology and media industries. This robust foundation laid the groundwork for the establishment of her own website in December 2013. As a 2012 Pulitzer Finalist, Lessin was recognized for her contribution to a series on digital privacy, a project that also garnered a public service award from the Society of Professional Journalists.

Lessin's expertise and insights have led to numerous appearances on popular media outlets such as CNBC, NPR, CNN, and Charlie Rose, further underscoring her ability to communicate complex tech concepts to diverse audiences. Her knack for breaking down information and her regular participation in international conferences have cemented her reputation as a reliable source of technology news and trends. This was recognized by Business Insider in 2014, when they listed her as an Influential Woman in Technology.

In 2017, Lessin demonstrated her leadership and entrepreneurship by expanding "The Information," opening offices in Hong Kong and New York City, and launching a business accelerator for subscription-based news organizations. Further diversifying her media presence, she started a podcast titled "More or Less" in June 2023. Joined by Sam Lessin, Dave Morin, and Brit Morin, the podcast offers listeners a deep dive into the latest news from Silicon Valley, showcasing Lessin's ongoing commitment to keeping audiences informed about the latest developments in the technology sector.
