Sign up for my free weekly newsletter from Cheddar: https://bbtw.cheddar.com/subscribe?ref=BLUbLJ14Z6 As a weekly columnist for Cheddar, I write deep-dive takes and explanatory comment on the top business and economic stories of the week, always with an eye to explaining to readers the story behind the story, helping them understand how the world of big business and macroeconomics affects the person in the street. For The Cipher Brief, I dive deep into areas of national security and international affairs. My background: I’m an experienced and hard-digging editor, reporter and newsroom manager well versed in news tech and with a fine eye for telling stories about numbers and using numbers to tell stories. I’ve been a foreign correspondent for the International Herald Tribune and spent eight years at Bloomberg News. I’ve won awards for investigative reporting about tax evasion and for covering hurricanes at Bloomberg, and for editing features and investigations at Crain’s New York Business. I'm skilled at mentoring reporters and helping them tease out the best storylines from their tips and reporting, and ensuring those stories tell a smart tale worth reading, while preserving the writer's voice. I’m bilingual in French and fluent in Czech. I’m digitally savvy, can edit an artful feature or lead a complex investigation, and can produce a section (or an entire daily newspaper or weekly magazine). I’m a fast hand when news breaks, and a cool head when the systems break.
