I am the former Editor of Business Report, South Africa's largest financial daily, a position I assumed in January 2011 until January 2016.

Prior to that I was Deputy Editor of Business Report after joining Independent Newspapers, which publishes Business Report, in May 2010 from New York.

In New York I was a Reuters senior correspondent, leading a team of Wall Street reporters covering the U.S. stock market and corporations listed on it.

I have a decade of experience covering corporate America, which included reporting on the effects of such major events as the Enron accounting scandal, 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, the election of Barack Obama as U.S. President and the global financial crisis of 2007-2009.

Before heading to the Unites States, I was a correspondent in the Johannesburg bureau of Reuters, covering economics, business and politics. I also oversaw freelance reporters covering several Southern African countries, including Mozambique and Swaziland.

I have also previously worked as a Reuters deputy parliamentary correspondent based in Cape Town, where I covered the political and financial spectrum of the South African legislative process and the transition from Nelson Mandela to Thabo Mbeki's presidency.

I began my journalism career in Durban, where I also worked on a freelance basis for SABC radio and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) -- for radio and TV.

I have traveled extensively, and the places I have reported from or visited include China, Turkey, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, the United States, India, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
