About Dan Costa

I lead editorial and content strategy at Worth and Techonomy, where I connect decision-makers with the people and ideas shaping how technology is transforming business, policy, and society. My work spans print, digital, video, and live events — with a focus on helping leaders make sense of complex change and turn it into action. I have spent my career covering technology transitions, AI is next.Before joining Worth, I served as Editor-in-Chief of PCMag and Senior Vice President of Content at Ziff Davis, overseeing properties including PCMag, AskMen, ExtremeTech, and Geek. Over two decades in media, I’ve built high-performing teams, launched new products, and scaled audiences by translating emerging technologies — from AI and cybersecurity to connected devices — into insights that drive decisions.I’ve interviewed founders, policymakers, and researchers on stage and on camera, hosted the Fast Forward interview series, and served as a cultural attaché for the U.S. State Department, speaking globally about technology’s societal impact. I focus on the strategic implications of artificial intelligence platforms, large language models, and the emerging ecosystem around enterprise AI adoption.I collaborate with companies, nonprofits, and boards on projects involving innovation strategy, executive communication, and AI adoption — and I’m open to advisory roles, speaking engagements, and board opportunities where that experience can make an impact.
