Bloomberg News
In June 2011 I became a reporter at Bloomberg News. Currently I'm a member of the team covering the private equity industry from Bloomberg LP's headquarters in New York. I've also contributed stories to Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg Markets and appeared on Bloomberg Television.
Initially, this page listed all of my stories published by Bloomberg, but after several years that list grew too long. For all of my articles, click here.
