VentureBeat’s Goldman departing for new opportunity

VentureBeat senior reporter Sharon Goldman is leaving the publication for a new opportunity.

Goldman has been covering artificial intelligence and machine learning.

She writes, “The good news is that I will still be covering AI — a beat that I have come to deeply enjoy and respect over the past two years. But it is bittersweet: Not only will I miss my small but mighty team at VentureBeat, but the publication gave me a tremendous opportunity to take on the AI beat six months before OpenAI launched ChatGPT and generative AI exploded into the public’s consciousness.”

Goldman previously worked as a freelance writer and was published in CIO.com, Business Insider, Adweek, Modern Jeweler, Workspan, and ALM Media/Law.com, among other publications.

She is a graduate of George Washington University.
