Claim your profileI’m a reporter who for the last decade has written about the influence and impact of billionaires, particularly in Silicon Valley. I have spent time at CNN and Vox's Recode, and then I helped launch a new media company called Puck as one of the first ten employees.I'm now at The New York Times, writing about money-in-politics, philanthropy and the ultra-rich.Topics I report on include political fundraising, the tension between philanthropy and capitalism, and the power of family offices. These days, I'm writing a lot about the 2024 presidential election and Silicon Valley.I routinely deal with highly sensitive stories and take protecting sources extremely seriously.
