On The Circuit with Emily Chang, she travels to meet the greatest founders, influencers, and innovators of our time. In its first season, the show has examined the future of social media and Elon Musk’s Twitter reign, and got inside interviews with the makers of ChatGPT focused on the promise and perils of artificial intelligence.

In 2018, Chang published Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’s Club of Silicon Valley, which became and instant national bestseller recognized by the New York Times and PBS as a must-read. The expose revealed how Silicon Valley’s sexist culture has shut women out of the greatest wealth creation in the history of the world. Tech products, Chang points out, are mostly built by men without the perspectives of women—a disservice to anyone who uses technology.

A powerful advocate for women in the workforce, Chang has worked her way to prominence in a male-dominated field and shines a journalistic light on issues such as diversity, inclusivity, and the future of work. She also played herself in several cameos of HBO’s hit show Silicon Valley.
