Hi, I'm Josh McConnell.

Senior Content Writer & Communications STRATEGIST

business & tech journalist | 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇳🇿

United States visa holder | Canadian citizen | New Zealand permanent resident 

I'm a highly experienced writer, communicator, and leader with over 15 years of experience. Most recently, I worked as part of a core team, leading the content and narrative strategy for naming the WNBA's newest team: the Toronto Tempo

I began my career in journalism and became a leading Canadian technology reporter and business editor, working within various national newsrooms such as the Financial Post, Globe and Mail, National Post, and CBC News, plus freelancing for others such as Canadian Press, Toronto Star, MobileSyrup and Lowest Rates. I have also appeared regularly on TV, radio, podcasts, online video and at speaking events. Over the years, I have interviewed some of North America's and the world’s top executives, including Tim Cook, Satya Nadella, Jack Dorsey, Jim Rowan, Tobias Lütke, Mario Queiroz, Eddy Cue, Panos Panay, and more — many of which were Canadian-exclusive interviews.

I moved into communications at organizations including Uber, Xero, and Auckland Transport. I also worked with one of Canada's leading creative agencies Tadiem — which includes OneMethod, Narrative, and Bensimon Byrne creating content for some of the world's biggest names in tech, finance, and business, and providing strategic communications consulting for numerous clients

In addition to my writing and communications career, I spent more than two years at The Second City in Toronto, where I completed its prestigious conservatory program while performing short-form improv and sketch comedy. I continue to perform short-form improv at different venues and enjoy writing sketch comedy.
