About

Executive editor at The Economist. Host of our Boss Class podcast on how to be a better boss. Author of a popular weekly column on management and a much-less-popular book on finance. Once turned Liz Truss into a lettuce. Strong record of running teams (from small groups of writers to large editorial departments); launching things (from The Economist's data-journalism team to the Economist Group's custom- and branded-content business); and overhauling systems (most recently, how editorial truly embraces the digital world). Deep experience of combining high-quality editorial output and successful commercial outcomes. Former member of The Economist Group's leadership team.
