During my seven years at Reuters I dove into corporate strategy across a range of industries, including real estate, insurance, consumer goods, industrials and chemicals. I analyzed thousands of data points, investigated legal, investment and M&A strategies, dissected earnings statements and picked the brains of executives at some of the world’s largest companies.
But I am most proud of my work covering the monumental transformation of the global auto and transportation industry towards an electric, zero-emissions future. I analyzed efforts to decarbonize the sprawling automotive supply chain, satisfy the growing need for battery raw materials, and build out effective EV charging networks - all while remaining commercially viable and cost-competitive.
Talking to Fortune-500 executives, startup founders, investors, researchers and regulators allowed me to gain a comprehensive perspective on some of the most complex environmental challenges.
Below is a selection of my favorite stories.
