Bloomberg taps Rabello for DC breaking news team

Maria Luiza Rabello

Bloomberg News has moved Maria Luiza Rabello to its Washington breaking news team.

Rabello started reporting for Bloomberg in 2009 as a stringer, after having worked for Folha de Sao Paulo, Brazil’s biggest newspaper, and for two television networks. She was hired nine months later as a full-time reporter to cover the Brazilian Congress and former president Lula’s administration.

Since then, Rabello has covered Brazil’s Finance Ministry, three presidential elections, one impeachment, a former president’s trial and arrest.

She became a breaking news editor in 2014 and helped coordinate Brasilia’s restless coverage as deputy bureau chief from 2015 to 2019.
