Talking tech since 2012
I started writing professionally in 2012, shortly after graduating from university with an Upper Second-Class Honours in creative writing and journalism.
My first “real” reporting job was at TechRadar, which began as an internship but later became a full-time role when I was made their multimedia reporter. I did a lot of on-camera reporting, which wasn’t really my cup of tea but was great exposure to an industry I was passionate about.
My focus later shifted to B2B reporting and enterprise IT, where I wrote for leading industry titles like Mobile Europe, European Communications and Digital Health News. This is when I began writing for leaders and decision-makers in the technology ecosystem. Since then, I’ve provided news, features, reports, case studies, analysis and more for professional audiences in the UK and internationally.
Before launching my freelance career in 2022 I was a senior editor at ZDNET, where I wrote extensively about IT business leadership, digital transformation, workforce training and hiring, technology trends and loads more – all with business leaders in mind.
In my free time, I’m an avid gamer, coffee drinker and dad joke enthusiast, with vague aspirations of writing a novel and learning to code.
What my clients say:
“I've been fortunate enough to work with Owen for nearly a decade. What has always impressed me is his exceptional skills as a writer - always having a deep understanding of the subject matter and the ability to intuitively know the right style and tone of voice for his readers. He's a fellow perfectionist who has a keen eye for the finer details and a consummate professional which means working on projects together is not only fun but always delivers the desired results.”
