ABOUT

Andrew Nusca is an author, editor, host, journalist, and media executive.

In 2024 he rejoined FORTUNE as editorial director of Brainstorm Tech, the business icon’s innovation-obsessed community and event series that culminates in an annual, invite-only summit in Deer Valley, Utah.

Nusca held a number of roles in his previous stint at Fortune. From 2016 to 2021 he was the publication’s digital editor, leading its global digital editorial team and directing coverage across its website, newsletter portfolio, and social media channels. From 2013 to 2016 he was senior editor, overseeing technology coverage in print and online. He became co-chair of Brainstorm Tech in 2015.

From 2021 to 2022 he served as the very first executive editor of Morning Brew, the Insider Inc-owned media startup, where he led and expanded its portfolio of consumer brands, including its eponymous flagship title. From 2023 to 2024 he served as senior director and editor-in-chief at Activision Blizzard, directing editorial efforts for the entertainment giant’s nearly 400 million gamers.

His work has appeared in GQ, Men’s Vogue, Money, New York, New York Daily News, Popular Mechanics, Time, and others. He has appeared on camera for ABC, Bloomberg TV, CBS, CNBC, Fox News, and more. The 2015 Fortune magazine cover story “The Age of Unicorns,” which he edited, marked an iconic moment in Silicon Valley history. His pyrotechnic 2016 onstage interview of WeWork CEO Adam Neumann at Fortune Brainstorm Tech was featured in the closing credits of the 2022 Apple TV+ series “WeCrashed.” His 2016 and 2017 profiles of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, respectively, are definitive accounts of two tech industry titans. His 2019 interview of Quibi founders Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman was a milestone moment for the ill-fated startup.

He has served as a judge for the American Society of Magazine Editors’ National Magazine Awards (“Ellies”) and the Deadline Club Awards, the annual competition of the New York City chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. He has been a guest lecturer at the University of Southern California, Villanova University, and Arcadia University and taught a graduate seminar on the disruption of the publishing industry by technology companies at New York University. He has presented on the future of journalism at the Klein News Innovation Camp hosted by Temple University in Philadelphia.

He is a graduate of New York University (where he was news editor of the school’s daily Washington Square News) and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. After building his career in New York City, the Philadelphia native now resides in metropolitan Los Angeles with his wife, son, and two French bulldogs.
