Bloomberg’s Davis adds media and telecom M&A to beat

Michelle F. Davis

Bloomberg News reporter Michelle Davis is adding mergers and telecommunications mergers and acquisitions to her beat.

She joined the deals team in April 2021 with a focus on health care.

Davis had previously been on the finance team covering JPMorgan. She was first to report on many management changes, strategy shifts and layoffs.

She worked in Bloomberg’s Mexico City bureau from 2016-2018, where she broke news on M&A and IPOs related to Carlos Slim, Jose Cuervo and the state-owned oil company Pemex. She also exposed rampant insider trading and revealed the scope of cyberattacks on the nation’s biggest banks.

Davis started at Bloomberg after graduating from the University of Virginia.
