Founder and CEO
ATHLETECH News
Edward Hertzman is an innovative entrepreneur who has launched multiple successful businesses across the media, fitness, wellness and sourcing verticals. He is also a well-known “voice of the industry” and an early-stage investor in promising firms.

His latest venture, Athletech News (Athletechnews.com), came in response to a need from the fitness industry for community, representation and "a seat at the table." Much like sourcing more than a decade ago, fitness and wellness has been an under-appreciated, under-reported-on industry, with little light shone on the robust investments in the space and the dynamic leaders that drive these businesses. Athletech News is the answer.
