Read →About
I started in New York in covering mergers and IPOs at Investment Dealers Digest, then built a beat on over-the-counter derivatives, first municipal, at The Bond Buyer, then corporate, for Reuters. I moved to Washington in the mid-1990s to cover banking regulators through the Glass-Steagall debates, and carved out an internet-policy beat at the FCC in the wake of the Telecommunications Act.
Back following the markets from Boston after 9/11, I was lead mutual-fund reporter at Bloomberg News through the market-timing scandal, wrote a daily contrarian markets column for TheStreet.com, and led the mutual-fund team at Reuters. In between, I spent five years at Businessweek on investigations into credit scores, auction-rate securities, and fee-based brokerage accounts, and wrote the Investing Insights blog.
Since 2013, I have covered technology for financial and business audiences at Yahoo Finance, at Fortune as a senior writer where I curated and wrote Data Sheet, the daily tech newsletter, and now at The Boston Globe.
I’m a two-time SABEW Best in Business award winner (2017, 2026), a Columbia graduate, and a longtime resident of Needham, Massachusetts, where I served eight years on the elected School Committee, including a term as chair.
