Reggiori Wilkes named European finance editor for Reuters

Tommy Reggiori Wilkes has been appointed Reuters’ Europe finance editor.

In this role, Reggiori Wilkes will help shape the coverage of financial services across the region. He will develop stories with a group of reporters in London and work with the bureaux, backing up the local teams, taking the lead on coverage that straddles across countries and financial companies. Sinead Cruise will continue to lead the UK side of the file, with a dedicated team of reporters.

Reggiori Wilkes spent the past year covering sustainable finance, breaking stories on the struggles of UN-backed climate alliances and banks’ efforts to weaken carbon accounting standards.

Prior to this, he spent five years reporting on financial markets, including on the market fallout from the pandemic and from Brexit, and the near implosion of Britain’s pensions industry in 2022. He was part of a team that produced an award-winning series of investigations into Britain’s response to the covid pandemic.

A Londoner, Reggiori Wilkes joined Reuters as a trainee before covering hedge funds and then moving to the New Delhi bureau. During four years as a correspondent in South Asia, he reported on everything from Indian elections and Pakistani steel mills to the 2017 Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh.
