Politico, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2007 and operates with approximately 1,130 employees. The company functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer, with its main product being online audio and video media, specializing as a global news and information company focused on the intersection of politics and policy.
On September 18, 2026, Politico named Zach Warmbrodt executive producer of policy, entrusting the longtime financial policy journalist with overseeing its coverage of economic policy, financial services, and trade. Warmbrodt transitioned into this position after serving as executive producer for Congress, a role he undertook following more than a decade covering financial and economic policy for the publication. Previously, on August 18, 2026, Russian and Egyptian nuclear authorities strongly challenged a Politico report, calling it "biased" and alleging violations at the El Daba nuclear power project (NPP). Politico's report had cited documents received from an intelligence official.
