Claim your profileI am an award-winning journalist with 20 years of experience in reporting and editorial leadership across a wide range of beats, geographies and newsrooms. I thrive on innovation in journalism, and newsrooms that nurture talent.I moved to Bloomberg in September 2024, where I work with reporters and editors across Asia to develop features and other editorial projects.Previously, I was in charge of special projects at Nikkei Asia. The projects I led there garnered several accolades, including Nikkei's first (and second) Awards of Excellence in the Global category at the SOPAs, as well as multiple SABEWs.In my 2.5 years there, I transformed my corner of the file, increasing traffic, dwell time and other engagement metrics while also generating a sense of community around the brand.I previously spent a decade at Reuters, where my reporting assignments included the auto industry out of Detroit, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict out of Jerusalem and Gaza, and mergers and acquisitions out of New York. I co-created and anchored a weekly video show on M&A news for Reuters terminals. I also served as Deputy Bureau Chief for the 30-person Reuters bureau in Mumbai, while simultaneously heading India's corporate coverage for a global audience.I covered all my beats with distinction, scoring market-moving scoops and a few awards along the way. In my time between Reuters and Nikkei Asia, I founded a digital journalism startup that trained and employed 51 journalists in 34 under-resourced communities around the world. Publishing partners included the BBC and the United Nations. I have learned to operate efficiently in densely matrixed organizations, and believe in a management style that leads with empathy and focuses on development. The result, repeatedly, has been transformational; the news product has become demonstrably better and the people who produce it have grown into happier, stronger journalists.As a founder, I learned to be creative about reaching new audiences, operating on limited resources, and optimizing finite human capital. As a newsroom leader who has lived in several countries and speaks five languages, I have led multicultural teams with ease. I have dealt with a wide range of operational situations, including evacuating staff from Afghanistan in 2021. I am calmest under pressure, and always cognizant of reputation, legal risks and ethics.
