Joshua Nelken-Zitser — Product Manager
I’m the author of ‘Trauma Bonds: How Generational Trauma Shapes, Divides, and Connects Us’ (HarperCollins UK) and an award-winning senior reporter at Business Insider’s London bureau. I write features about the culture of money and wealth, as well as-told-to essays. I've also extensively covered US politics, world news, and social affairs. I’ve reported from the US, across Europe, and the Middle East. My work has been cited in a presidential impeachment trial, helped at-risk individuals gain asylum, and has drawn over 650 million pageviews. In 2024, I received the Axel Springer Award for Change — Journalistic Piece of the Year and was highly commended at the British Journalism Awards for a multi-year investigation into subsidized gender-transition surgeries in Iran.
