About Me
I’m the founder of Byline Strategies and a Gerald Loeb Award–winning journalist with nearly 25 years at Bloomberg, Dow Jones, and CoinDesk.
I oversaw the investigative reporting widely credited with bringing down Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX cryptocurrency exchange — work that won Loeb, George Polk, and New York Press Club awards.
My background spans trading, market structure, derivatives, regulation, crypto, and DeFi — giving me a rare, end-to-end view of how markets work.
Career highlights:
- Promoted from beat reporter to manager of U.S. stocks coverage during 16 years at Bloomberg, while honing deep expertise in financial markets and market structure.
- Led a 50-person newsroom as deputy editor-in-chief of CoinDesk.
- Bylines in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Bloomberg Markets.
- Broadcast appearances on the BBC, CNBC, NPR’s Planet Money, Bloomberg Television, and more.
