Agnieszka de Sousa has been named global food czar at Bloomberg News, succeeding Millie Munshi.

“Excited to work even more with our journalists all over the world, telling food stories that delve into agriculture, trade, climate, politics, retail, tech & much more,” she wrote on Twitter.

She previously was an assistant editor for European metals at Platts. She also worked at Euromoney Institutional Investor covering exchange-traded derivatives markets.
