I’m delighted to announce Katia Porzecanski as our new New York Bureau Chief.Katia has been at Bloomberg for more than a decade in a variety of roles and is an ideal pick to represent the newsroom and spearhead coverage at a critical time for the region as it tries to rebound from the pandemic.

Katia has worked as a reporter on Emerging Market Americas, broke tons of news for the Investing team, embedded on Leverage Finance and helped spearhead stories about #MeToo on Wall Street. She’s also served on the Reporter Advisory Board twice and worked with the internship program.
A native New Yorker, Katia lives on the Upper West side and has two girls who consume most of her free time. She’ll start May 1 when she returns from maternity leave. Please wish her congrats!Pierre
