“Angie has the perfect blend of deep roots in Asia, a great personality and strong international journalism experience,” said Paul Yurisich, head of news and programming for Bloomberg TV Asia, in a statement. “She will bring a seasoned reporter’s perspective to our First Up viewers as we set the agenda ahead of the trading day and the events shaping business in Asia.”
Lau joins anchor Rishaad Salamat as well as Bloomberg Television’s roster of personalities including Zeb Eckert, Mia Saini, John Dawson and David Ingles in Hong Kong, Stephen Engle in Beijing and Haslinda Amin in Singapore.
