What I Cover
I’m currently interested in billionaires and how corporations work.
My Background
I joined ProPublica in 2019 and have reported on Microsoft’s security flaws, a rifle manufacturer, Jeffrey Yass of Susquehanna International, generational wealth, a private equity owned hospital system, President Donald Trump’s accountants and Amazon’s delivery network.
My research has contributed to dozens of other stories.
I was previously a researcher at The New York Times, where I collaborated on stories about Facebook algorithms, sexual harassment at Google and Uber founder Travis Kalanick.
My tenure at Fortune Magazine was spent investigating the largest companies in the U.S.: IBM, Pfizer, Cargill and Enron.
I’ve received multiple awards for my research and reporting, including the Selden Ring Award, Barlett & Steele Award for Investigative Journalism, IRE Award and Gerald Loeb Awards.
