Lena Borrelli

A long-time tech enthusiast, Lena Muhtadi Borrelli has an extensive background in e-commerce. Her work covers a number of different products, covering everything from headphones to air conditioners to electric bikes. She maintains a sharp focus on the latest trends and products to help improve daily life, approaching them with an inquisitive curiosity and always asking, Is this worth it? In addition to finding the latest deals for the best products, she also takes the time to test products herself for value and performance. Together with the GearLab team, she brings thorough, reliable reviews and roundups you can trust for your home and family.

Lena brings a wealth of experience to GearLab. She has served as a contributor for Forbes, ZDNET and Digital Trends, and her work has also been featured in publications like TIME, Newsweek, Fox Business and CNET. She has also worked with NFL Super Bowl winner Rob Gronkowski and several WWE and AEW wrestlers, including Thunder Rosa, Angelina Love and her own brother, Dean "Mojo" Muhtadi. As such, she is uniquely attuned to the needs of athletes and keeps this at the forefront when reviewing and recommending products.

Lena was born and raised within the Washington, D.C., area, where she regularly delighted in several sports and took advantage of the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. She later followed her family to Tampa Bay, where she fell in love with the natural beauty of the Gulf waters. When she is not writing, Lena is happiest when spending time in the Florida sun with her husband, boating, swimming and playing with their two dogs, Bella and Maisie.
