Previous endeavours
OpenLedger
Working with a team of writers and editors on a news start-up project for OpenLedger, a blockchain technology provider and cryptocurrency exchange. As deputy editor, I write, commission and edit news and analysis on the latest developments in this still-fledgling area of financial and business activity.
It is my aim to deliver a more sophisticated understanding of this exciting and fast-evolving business sector using the talents of an experienced writing team, many of whom have been covering blockchain and cryptocurrencies from the beginning.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any thoughts, ideas, stories and anecdotes, and let me know if you're available for the odd chat or email exchange on particular topics that may be of interest to you. Here's what we do:
News
Analysis and features
Enodo Economics
Writer and editor of a weekly email newsletter for Enodo Economics. Diana Choyleva - respected China economist - provides snapshots from global media on the week's economic and financial events in China. My job is to tie them together into a coherent report and provide commentary on why the news matters.
Capital.com
Writer and deputy editor. Responsible for commissioning and writing news analysis and features and writing daily news output covering all financial markets, including newer themes such as crypto-assets. I remain a freelance, and although this project has become a near full-time responsibility, I remain open and available for other projects. Here's a link to my work for Capital.com

Pre-freelance career
Financial Times
Although I was a news editor on the markets desk for the last six years, I wrote many news and analysis stories for the FT. Here's a small selection:
Emerging markets: A frontier mentality - June 2011
FX volatility: EM sell off abates after summer storm - October 2013
Policies hamper dollar's prospects - October 2013
Uncertainty fuels fall in emerging market currencies - August 2013
Outlook: Bernanke expected to smooth over divisions - February 2013
Evening Standard
I've had to be a little creative here. The ES website was merely a prototype back in 1998-2000 when I worked at the London daily newspaper. Therefore stories that I wrote at this time are not available in any web archive. So I have delved into my ancient cuttings file, taken snaps of some of my favourites and uploaded them on the image carousel opposite. I've included two from my weekly 'Crime in London' column.
