Renata Malkes

I am a talented multitasking journalist with a master in international relations who will jolt passion, curiosity, and accuracy into your company. Having 20 years experience working for mainstream media, I became addicted to adrenaline and field reporting, thus, agility, precision and versatility emerge as some of my main professional traits.

Innovation fascinates me! I am, thus, quite comfortable navigating the intersections between politics, science/ technology and security issues. Since my career began years ago covering crime in Rio's slums, navigating the city under unsafe circumstances and super-tight deadlines, I have been very excited about constant challenges. Actually, I have gathered large experience in conflict areas - from Rio de Janeiro's slums to Middle East countries such as Israel and Palestine (where I lived for eight years), Lebanon, Kuwait and so on.

I am keen on exploring new media languages and formats in order to communicate complex ideas in global issues, security, research, public policy and crisis management, helping to add results to any competitive international environment.

Based in Germany, alongside Portuguese, I speak English, German, Spanish and Hebrew fluently. Furthermore, I am also an avid social media addict in all those languages, using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, blogs and other tools to inform and keep informed.
