Kelly Bourdet, the editor of technology news site Gizmodo, announced Wednesday that she will leave the site at the end of the month.
She has been editor in chief for slightly more than three years.
“I‘m proud of all that Gizmodo has accomplished. We’ve broken so much impactful news, celebrated the strange, questioned prevailing narratives, refused to go on background, and made all the right enemies. Nothing can stop this staff, ever,” she wrote on Twitter.
Bourdet joined Gizmodo from Vocativ, where she was the editorial director, overseeing all aspects of the editorial operation and launching the site’s technology, science, health, and sexuality coverage. Before that, she worked at Refinery29, where she founded and led the site’s health, science, and technology verticals, ultimately working as Deputy Editor.
She also previously worked as an editor at Nerve Media and was a long-time contributor to Vice’s Motherboard, where she wrote the weekly column “Future Sex,” which explored the intersection of science and technology with sexuality and personal relationships.
She’s also written for Popular Science, Vice, Salon, Buzzfeed and others.
