He’s been a big part of the CNNMoney newsroom since September, and now it’s official: Patrick Gillespie has joined the Markets and Economy team as our newest reporter.
We like that he’s strangely obsessed with the economy and data, and that he’s completely thrown himself into markets coverage. There are no shortage of important story lines for him to tackle, and he’s already become indispensable to Heather Long and Matt Egan.
Want to know more about Patrick? Heather provided some key details:
Patrick joined us in September and has quickly become a go to source on Janet Yellen, unemployment and emerging markets. You can often find him with a spreadsheet open. He is a graduate of the University of Delaware and CUNY’s Journalism School where he studied under esteemed CNNMoney alums Annalyn Kurtz and Steve Gandel.
Before joining CNNMoney, Patrick did stints at McClatchy’s DC Bureau, Mashable, The Connecticut Post and The Philadelphia Inquirer. In addition to “all things nerdy,” he is passionate about Latin and South America and worked for a tour company in Buenos Aires for a year after college. He’s also a former varsity baseball player and has already been recruited for CNNMoney’s softball team.
