Bloomberg’s Keller switches to banking beat from corporate finance

Laura Keller Bloomberg News reporter Laura Keller, who has been covering corporate finance, is moving to the banking beat to cover Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

Pete Eichenbaum, head of the U.S. finance team at Bloomberg, sent out the following announcement:

Please join me in congratulating Laura J. Keller in her triumphant return to the Finance Team. Laura interned for us in 2012 before landing a job at Debtwire and then joining Bloomberg’s CorpFin team full-time in mid-2014. She dominated the distressed-debt beat over the past year and a half, and is poised to do the same covering Bank of America and Wells Fargo, starting Feb. 1. She’ll be taking Michael J. Moore‘s seat between Hugh Son and Dakin Campbell, who heroically chronicled those two banks for the past several years.
As Michael leaves us to take over as team leader for U.K. Finance, his beat will be split in two. Hugh will add Morgan Stanley while he continues to cover JPMorgan, and Dakin will take on Goldman Sachs while retaining responsibility for Citigroup.
