Rachel Feintzeig

Rachel Feintzeig has been named The Wall Street Journal’s Work & Life columnist.

She is replacing Sue Shellenbarger, who retired in January after 40 years at the paper.

“I’ll be doling out equal parts advice and commiseration for all your work-life-pandemic dilemmas,” Feintzeig wrote on Twitter.

Feintzeig currently covers management trends and chief executives for the Journal. From 2008 to 2013, she wrote about bankruptcy and restructuring for Dow Jones Newswires, the Daily Bankruptcy Review and the Wall Street Journal’s Bankruptcy Beat blog. Now based in New York, she previously reported from Washington and Philadelphia.
