Joined May 2013
After nearly three years as News Editor and then Investigations Editor at City AM, I have decided to leave. I loved working with so many great people at the paper, and I am incredibly proud of what I achieved, especially leading on so many front pages.

I want to give a special thanks to @silvesterldn - the master of front pages - who gave me this opportunity and taught me so much. And it was such a pleasure to work with so many young talented reporters and editors to generate some excellent original business news.
