JIM GOLDMAN
CNBC's Silicon Valley Bureau Chief


Jim Goldman was named CNBC's Silicon Valley Bureau Chief in Nov. 2003. He is responsible for coordinating all Silicon Valley and Northern California business and technology news for the network, both as an on-air reporter and producer. He is also a frequent contributor to the weekend editions of "NBC Nightly News."

Goldman comes to CNBC after opening TechTV's Silicon Valley Bureau in 2001 and serving as the network's Silicon Valley Bureau Chief for two years. He covered technology news all over the United States, Australia, and Mexico. His report on a Florida-based chipmaker led NASDAQ to halt trading in its shares and federal investigators to expand their probe into the company's products. Goldman’s reports were regularly seen on CNN and ABC News.

Prior to TechTV, he served as technology correspondent for ABCNews in New York where his reports could be seen on Good Morning America, World News Weekend, World News Now, and World News This Morning. Goldman was also a frequent guest on the ABCNews Radio Network.

He has been recognized with several national business journalism awards, and was named by Adweek magazine as one of the nation's top two most influential broadcast business/technology journalists in 2003. Both the San Jose Mercury News and the San Jose Business Journal have named Goldman one of Silicon Valley's most influential individuals.

After graduating from Brown University with a double major, he became the Silicon Valley's first, full-time on-air technology reporter in 1989. He has worked as high-tech business editor for KNTV (now the NBC affiliate of the San Francisco Bay area) and KRON (independent). Goldman also created and produced the internationally distributed "Silicon Valley Business This Week" for KICU TV, an independent station in San Jose.
