Owen Hartley would rather print a number than an adjective. He covers business, technology, leadership and culture for The California Magazine, from funding rounds and product launches to profiles of founders, executives and creative entrepreneurs.

Every story starts for him with the same question: what does this change for the people and companies involved? He explains complicated subjects in plain language and ends on what readers should watch next. A Silicon Valley start-up, a Los Angeles brand or a family business in the Central Valley gets the same treatment: the full picture, in one sitting.
