Bloomberg’s Webb departs for graduate school

Alex Webb, who has been with Bloomberg News for 13 years, has left to attend graduate school at Stanford.

In his most recent job, he wrote the weekly documentaries for Bloomberg Originals, turning the best of Bloomberg News’s global coverage into compelling shorts that secure a bigger audience than almost anything else the newsroom produces.

He also appeared regularly on Bloomberg TV to comment on the technology industry, contributed a monthly column to Bloomberg Businessweek magazine and wrote various newsletters for different teams.

Webb was also a technology reporter in San Francisco and an industrials reporter in Munich.
