I began my career on Wall Street, reporting on mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings (IPOs) for Investment Dealers’ Digest. I've written for NPR, The New York Times and The Telegraph on subjects ranging from technology and education to capital market issues. I was part of a startup team of journalists that launched an industry news site for KPMG, the Insiders, positioning the global firm as a source of digital news, analysis, and thought leadership. The readership for this high-profile project consisted of C-level executives, academics, and government officials. We grew this organically to 100,000 subscribers.
