I’m an experienced and award-winning editor, reporter and newsroom manager 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 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.
