In his decade at Vox Media, he&rsquo;s grown The Verge into one of the largest and most influential tech sites, with a global audience of millions of monthly readers, and award-winning journalism with real-world impact. Honored in Adweek&rsquo;s “Creative 100” in 2021, under Patel&rsquo;s leadership, The Verge received its first Pulitzer and National Magazine Award nominations.
