Jeff Kofman

Jeff Kofman is the Founder and CEO of Trint, a pioneering artificial intelligence platform that has transformed how the media and news industries manage transcription and translation. Before transitioning into the technology sector, Kofman spent over 30 years as a distinguished foreign correspondent for ABC, CBS, and CBC News. Reporting from more than 40 countries, he covered era-defining events including the Iraq War, the Arab Spring, and the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. His exceptional journalism has been recognised with two Emmy Awards, a duPont Award, and an Edward R. Murrow Award. Since launching Trint to solve the manual transcription challenges he faced during his reporting career, the company has expanded to over 100 employees across London and Toronto, serving global organisations like The New York Times and Sky News. Outside of his commercial leadership, Kofman is a global affairs analyst for the BBC and the creator of the StoryTech podcast, which examines the intersection of innovation and storytelling. He also shares his expertise as a university educator, teaching global journalism to students in London. Kofman draws on his experiences in high-pressure environments and war zones to provide unique perspectives on leadership, resilience, and industrial disruption. Audiences book him for his ability to translate complex technological shifts into clear strategic advantages, delivered with the poise and professional authority of a world-class communicator. On stage, Jeff Kofman is best known for talks on AI, Communication, Culture, Innovation, Resilience and Risk & Risk Management. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across AI, Business & Consulting and Media & Broadcasting, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Jeff Kofman is regularly booked for Business Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
