Colleagues,
I am delighted to report that Dawn Kopecki has joined Reuters as editor for our corporate finance coverage in the Americas as well as ESG, reporting to me. Dawn started this morning in DC and will move to New York in the coming months.
Dawn brings almost 30 years of experience as an editor and reporter to Reuters. As an editor, Dawn spent the last nine years leading teams covering a variety of issues, including markets and company news, natural disasters, oil markets, geopolitics, U.S. politics and the Covid-19 crisis at the San Antonio Express-News, CNBC and The Messenger.
That followed an impressive career as a reporter, breaking countless stories on the federal response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the 2008 financial crisis and various Wall Street accounting and trading scandals for Dow Jones, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Businessweek magazine. She was part of the Wall Street team at Bloomberg that was a finalist for the 2012 Gerald Loeb award and an honoree for economic/finance story of the year by the Foreign Press Association for their coverage of JPMorgan’s London Whale trading scandal. She also won a 2014 Silurians Merit Award for Public Service Magazine Writing for her coverage of junior bankers on Wall Street.
She’s interviewed some of Wall Street’s biggest bankers for various magazine cover stories and was a frequent contributor to Bloomberg TV, appearing numerous times on PBS Newshour, NPR’s Marketplace, CNBC and C-SPAN’s Washington Journal.
She currently teaches yoga at Flow Yoga Center, Bright Bear Yoga and Luneh Yoga in Washington, DC, but looks forward to the studios and her third move to NYC in the coming months.
Please join me in welcoming Dawn to Reuters.
Best, Paritosh
