About

As a deals and special situations reporter at Bloomberg News, I cover the most complex and dynamic transactions, ranging from M&A, leveraged buyouts, hostile takeovers, distressed debt, restructuring, frauds and investor activism. I also focus on private markets. I have over two decades of experience in journalism and previously reported on emerging markets, credit, pension funds, billionaires, hedge funds and served as a deputy team leader, helping manage a group of reporters and editors. I have been awarded a Vladimir Herzog Award for journalists who excel in the coverage of human rights issues in Brazil, with my coverage on the connections between the Brazilian dictatorship era and current police brutality in the region. I was also part of a group of reporters who received a Sabew gold medal for our booming consumer debt coverage in Canada.
