Tech features at Business Insider

My BI history:
2024: deputy bureau chief, Singapore
2022-24: senior correspondent, tech features (NYC/SF)
2021: correspondent, tech features (NYC/SF)
2020-2021: senior reporter, tech features (NYC/SF)
2018-2020: senior reporter, finance (NYC)

As a reporter, I've covered everything from Travis Kalanick's big food tech ambitions to cruise ships stranded at the pandemic's outset. At BI, I've been a beat reporter, a blogger, a newsroom teacher, and a heads-down investigative reporter. I had a particularly busy 2019, when I led our WeWork coverage and worked on a team tracking Jeffrey Epstein's finances, which resulted in a series on his relationship with a hedge fund billionaire family. I try to collaborate across our brilliant newsroom as much as possible, and I love learning about something different every day. 

I'm always keen to speak at conferences and on television and podcasts, live or taped – please reach out for bookings.

Deputy Bureau Chief, Singapore

At Columbia Business School, I took the typical first-year MBA core (statistics, accounting, etc). Other MBA classes included family office management and advanced corporate finance. 

I enjoyed the MBA extracurriculars, too, becoming a social chair for my 70-person cluster; traveling to Japan, Vietnam, Scandinavia, Mexico City, and other destinations; and bringing guest speakers like Pulitzer-winning New York Times reporters to speak at the business school.

I was the senior Americas reporter for PEI's real estate magazine, PERE. I assisted with the daily e-newsletter and reported and wrote analysis, news and commentary for the magazine and its online counterpart. I also oversaw two reporters' feature work for front-of-the-book pieces. 

In addition to writing, I frequently moderated and spoke at industry events, including PERE's Global Investor Forums in Dubai, New York and Los Angeles, MIT's World Real Estate Conference and PEI's CFO/COO Forum, where I interviewed former DNC chair Donna Brazile. 

Major interviews and accompanying magazine features included Sam Zell, Barry Sternlicht, Jon Gray and Tom Barrack. 

I also contributed to other PEI publications, including Real Estate Capital (CRE debt-focused publication) and Private Equity International.
