Curt Woodward

Curt covers technology and innovation in the Boston area. He previously worked in Xconomy’s Seattle bureau and continues some coverage of Seattle-area tech companies, including Amazon and Microsoft.

Curt joined Xconomy in February 2011 after nearly nine years with The Associated Press, the world's largest news organization. He worked in three states and covered a wide variety of beats for the AP, including business, law, politics, government, and general mayhem.

A native Washingtonian, Curt earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. As a past president of the state's Capitol Correspondents Association, he led efforts to expand statehouse press credentialing to online news outlets for the first time.
