Summary

I have written and edited financial and markets stories in Asia and Europe for the last 20 years. I first started working for a magazine in Hong Kong and then went onto newspapers, before moving to London to work for news magazines, and then in Dow Jones Newswires, where I started as a reporter breaking news to eventually editing in Hong Kong. In 2008, I began working for the Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong as a senior editor. I became a columnist at Bloomberg in 2015, before moving on to editing markets stories of all types, from fast-moving BFWs to longer form features.
