Jennifer Barrett, the personal finance editor for CNBC Digital, sent out the following announcement on Thursday morning:
I’m thrilled to welcome Tom Anderson, who joins the personal finance team today. He will be writing and editing. In fact, we’ve already put him to work on his first story. (He may actually have a byline before he has a badge!)
Before joining us, Tom had been a freelance writer and editor, covering personal finance topics for publications ranging from Forbes to Wired and editing finance and accounting newsletters for the business news aggregator SmartBrief. A former Knight-Bagehot fellow at Columbia University, Tom has also worked as an associate editor at Kiplinger’s and a writer for The Daily (under our own Tom Lowry).
Like me, Tom is a runner, though I’m pretty sure he would kick my butt in any race. He’s currently training for his third marathon, which is about 17 miles more than I’ve ever run consecutively. He’s also an avid reader–especially anything by Michael Lewis or James Ellroy–and a big movie buff.
Tom’s desk is near the west entrance to the newsroom. Please swing by and say hi.
