Anirban Sen, editor in charge of U.S. mergers and acquisitions coverage, sent out the following to the staff:
I’m pleased to announce that Milana Vinn has joined us as our new M&A Correspondent, based in New York. In her new role, Milana will focus on breaking news and landing the biggest scoops in the technology, media, and telecom industries.
Milana most recently worked at Gerson Lehrman Group, where she led the firm’s TMT coverage on their public equities events team. Prior to GLG, she was a TMT M&A reporter at PE Hub, where she regularly broke news on private equity-backed deals. Some of her scoops included KKR’s purchase of graphics-software provider Corel, Vista Equity’s sale of fleet-management software Omnitracs, and Providence Equity Partners’ $1bln sale process for automotive software maker OEConnection.
Milana grew up in Saint Petersburg, Russia. After moving to New York in 2015, she got her Master’s in Journalism from CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. She started her career as an intern in 2017 at ABC News, followed by an internship at Bloomberg.
Milana currently lives in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, with her husband and three kids. Aside from cheering the kids at their sporting events on weekends, her hobbies include DJ-ing, interior design, pilates, and hiking and skiing in Upstate NY.
Milana started her new role this week and will report to me. As part of the role, Milana will liaise and work closely with our TMT reporting teams in New York and San Francisco led by Ken Li. Please join me in congratulating Milana and wishing her success in the new gig!
Best,
Anirban
