Om
Malik: Om Malik is a senior writer for Red Herring focusing

book, Broadbandits: the inside story of the $750 billion telecom
heist; which is slated for publication in May 2003 by John

ever to cross over into the venture capital business.
During his tenure as a venture capitalist, he
met and worked side by side with many CEOs, entrepreneurs
and investors, and was privy to the inner workings of Silicon
Valley. However, nine months in the VC business made him realize
how much he missed the world of writing and
reportage, and he went to work for Red Herring where he could
apply his extensive knowledge and insight into the world of
venture capitalism and cutting edge technologies.
Between his career as a technology journalist
and his tenure as a venture capitalist, he has witnessed and
documented firsthand the rise and fall of the Internet and
telecom industries, which has given him unrivaled access and
insight into this world.
