Damon Beres, the editor on chief of technology publication OneZero, has accepted parent company Medium’s buyout offer.

His last day will be April 7.

OneZero’s editorial team includes the namesake publication, Debugger, and Future Human. Beres commissions, edits, and writes stories about the companies, products, and unseen forces shaping our future.

Previously, Beres was an executive editor at Mashable. He worked with content across platforms and directed Mashable’s industry-leading Snapchat Discover story, which was read by millions of people around the world and cited by Digiday when Mashable won the agency’s “Most Innovative Publisher” award.

Prior to Mashable, Beres was senior tech editor at HuffPost, where he anchored influential coverage on Apple, the electronic waste crisis, and more. He first started covering technology for Reader’s Digest magazine.
