Professional Experience
I'm an award-winning business, finance, and tech editor & journalist, as well as an experienced researcher with extensive print & online experience. I've had a successful career as a senior finance exec, lending an in-depth level of knowledge to the content that I write. My experience includes handling research, writing & designing corporate webinars, editing & writing for finance magazines & business newspapers, as well as for global banking, private equity, fintech, and tech websites and publications. I've created content for custom publications, media organizations, and academic journals. I've ghostwritten for major finance execs & provided thought leadership for companies. If you're looking for someone who understands financial reports and SEC filings and the influence of M&As, digital payments and crypto, then I'm your person.
