Danny Fortson Biography

Danny Fortson is a world-renowned Tech Journalist, Commentator, Keynote Speaker and Moderator.

The West Coast correspondent for The Sunday Times, Danny is a true expert who can take people inside the Silicon Valley future machine. He is able to explain how to innovate amid a bubble where most companies - and ideas - will fail, how some jobs will disappear while novel ones emerge, how autonomous agents and humans with AI co-pilots in some settings have begun producing at superhuman levels. 

Danny describes AI as the next infrastructure layer on which industries will and must be built - a shift that businesses ignore at their peril - and does so in a way that informs, engages and entertains. 

Before returning to the San Francisco Bay Area to cover the technology industry in 2016, Danny spent 13 years in London, where he covered everything from tech to airlines, financial services, defense, oil and gas and mining. He has reported from more than 25 countries in Africa, Asia, South America and Europe, and has been recognized by The Society of Editors as one of Britain’s top tech journalists in 5 of the last 7 years.

Danny conceived, reported, wrote and narrated an 8-part audio documentary called Tales of Silicon Valley, which was commended by the British Podcast Awards. He hosted a weekly chat show called Danny in the Valley where he interviewed nearly 400 technology founders and investors ranging from Bill Gates and Marc Andreessen to the next generation of world-changers. He launched the new  Times Tech Podcast  with co-host Katie Prescott, which showcases interviews with the top tech founders and executives on the west coast and Europe.

His column Tech Talk can be found every weekend in The Sunday Times and he has appeared as a guest commentator on the BBC, Times Radio, Talk Radio and CNBC.

A highly engaging Keynote Speaker and Moderator, Danny is able to share news, trends and insights about the tech industry, specifically the tech inside Silicon Valley, what’s coming next, and the impact this can have on business and the wider world.
