Finding untold stories in technology, business, and markets.
I cover technology, startups, artificial intelligence, and the electric vehicle transition for The Boston Globe, where I write the weekly Innovation Beat newsletter. I have chronicled the internet bubble, the housing bubble, the crypto bubble, and now the AI...boom. Equally at home filing on a tight deadline or spending weeks on a deep investigation. Two-time SABEW Best in Business winner.

Read →About
I started in New York City covering finance and markets at Investment Dealers Digest, The Bond Buyer, and Reuters. I moved to Washington in the mid-1990s to cover banking and carved out an internet-policy beat at the FCC in the wake of the Telecommunications Act. For that brief period known as the internet magazine bubble, I worked for The Industry Standard.
Moving to Boston in 2001, I was lead mutual-fund reporter at Bloomberg News through the market-timing scandal, wrote a daily contrarian markets column for TheStreet.com, and led the mutual-fund team at Reuters. In between, I spent five years at Businessweek covering companies from Staples to L.L. Bean, investigating the problems with credit scores, auction-rate securities, and fee-based brokerage accounts, and writing the Investing Insights blog.
Since 2013, I have covered technology for financial and business audiences at Yahoo Finance, Fortune, where I also curated and wrote the daily Data Sheet tech newsletter, and now at The Boston Globe.
I’m a two-time SABEW Best in Business award winner (2017, 2026), a Columbia graduate, and a longtime resident of Needham, Massachusetts, where I served eight years on the elected School Committee, including a term as chair.
