Catherine Leffert has been hired by Punchbowl News to cover tax and trade.
She has been at American Banker covering all things banking, including credit scandals, mergers and acquisitions, compliance blunders and the wonkiest accounting rules you’ve never heard of. She joined American Banker in 2022, and is based in Washington, D.C.
Previously, Leffert covered banking and private equity in Dallas at a time when the region was one of the fastest-growing economies in the country.
She graduated from Syracuse University, and was managing editor of the city’s independent, student-run newspaper, The Daily Orange. Her reporting has been honored by the American Society of Business Publication Editors and the Society of Professional Journalists.
