About

As a senior reporter at InsuranceAsia News, I edit and write stories to help companies and leaders all over the world discover how big events and new risks influence financial markets and the people behind them and help my team distribute all the work and put it all together in a neat newsletter our subscribers receive every morning. I talk to (re)jnsurers, brokers, loss adjusters, analysts and investors every day to make sure we do not miss the next big topic. Do you know that talent and cyber attacks are the biggest risks companies are facing today, and cyber is becoming such a big risk it could even become its own business line? Or that the voluntary carbon market could reach US$250 billion by 2030 and US$1 trillion by 2050, and South-East Asia is a big driver of this growth. Or that Asia is the third largest market for crypto adoption, and about 40 % of bitcoin on-chain activity conducted in the top 50 exchanges originates in Asia Pacific.I speak four languages and have been writing and editing stories in four different countries, mostly focused on business, finance and tech for the last 10+ years, which opened doors for me in many places — once, even to an opera theatre in Oman . In 2014, in my last year of university, I won an award for the best financial article about the government trying to make pension funds more transparent and not succeeding. I went to Iceland to see how communities learn to become more resilient. Later, I was invited to Estonia's 100th birthday, discovered over 1000 business initiatives, es including those featured in IndieGoGoGo, and went to see how fair trade, ethical finance and responsible consumption can help communities in Spain and South America thrive while staying resilient. In the meantime, I also learnt to build communication strategies, produce podcasts and be on camera, and we'll see what comes next.Select specialisation and tools: financial news and features editing, financial and business reporting, managing workflow, producing print editions, podcasts and video interviews communication strategy, social media marketing and events WordPress, Hubspot, Datawrapper, Google Analytics, Canva, CapCutYou can reach me at shperlikkristina@gmail.com — drop me a line if you want to collaborate, have a topic in mind or simply want to grab coffee when you're in Hong Kong
