Leibovich covers politics for The Washington Post’s Style section, and was the section’s lead reporter during the 2004 presidential campaign. His specialty is writing profiles of the powerful, among them Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy.

He will share his insider’s perspective on these and other influential and entertaining characters in Washington. He also will talk about his time in Silicon Valley, profiling technology tycoons such as Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos as a writer for the San Jose Mercury News.

In 2002, Prentice Hall Press published a collection of Leibovich’s technology profiles, called, “The New Imperialists: How Five Restless Kids Grew Up to Virtually Rule Your World.”
