The Information hires Gardizy to cover cloud providers

Anissa Gardizy

Amir Efrati of The Information sent out the following on Wednesday:

Team,
Please welcome Anissa Gardizy to the reporting team in San Francisco!
Anissa is going to sink her reporting teeth into Amazon Web Services and other cloud providers that are increasingly powering businesses, from streaming to commerce, and are core to artificial intelligence developments (see: ChatGPT). These clouds are at the center of geopolitical fights (TikTok) and cybersecurity failures (Microsoft). AWS is one of the biggest cash machines ever created. It’s also a black box that could use a lot more sunshine.
Anissa comes to us from the Boston Globe, where she has reported on technology businesses since 2020. She broke news about the decline of Bose (owned by MIT, interestingly!), clogged streets caused by Chick-fil-A food delivery orders, and Travis Kalanick bringing CloudKitchens to Boston. She also infiltrated the 10-year reunion of Caroline Ellison’s high school graduating class for a profile of the crypto criminal.
Anissa previously interned at The Information during the first summer of the pandemic. She reported on GoPuff’s rapid expansion, nervous TikTok advertisers and a faltering alternative-housing startup—a byline she shared with Cory.
We are beyond happy to have her back. She starts March 13.
