Research Director, Jadian Capital · Journalist · Qualitative Researcher · Investment Research
I'm a journalist-turned-qualitative researcher based in New York. I covered entrepreneurship and venture capital for Forbes, interviewing founders and investors at some of the world's most exciting startups. I hold an M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University.
Since leaving journalism, I have applied investigative reporting techniques to investment research — conducting in-depth interviews and public records work to generate differentiated insights for global asset managers. I have worked as a Qualitative Research Analyst at Fir Tree Partners, a Project Manager at Blue Heron Research Partners, a Global Equities Consultant at Ariel Investments, and am currently Research Director at Jadian Capital in New York.
I was previously the Senior Editor of Global Security Finance, a London-based newsletter covering the security and defense sector for the finance community.
