Glasgall, ex-Bloomberg ME, joins Volcker Alliance

William Glasgall, a Bloomberg News managing editor who retired earlier this month, has joined the Volcker Alliance as program and editorial director for its state/local accountability and improvement programs.

“Bill brings to the Alliance deep knowledge of state and local government fiscal policies and the experience needed to translate the Task Force’s recommendations into changes that benefit people’s lives,” said Volcker Alliance President Shelley Metzenbaum in a statement.

Glasgall joined Bloomberg News in 2007 and directed enterprise and beat reporting for several teams, most recently as managing editor overseeing coverage of state and local government and financial news that won numerous awards from the National Press Club Foundation and other organizations.

His career also includes almost two decades at BusinessWeek magazine, where he won two Overseas Press Club Awards for international reporting, and as a vice president at Standard & Poor’s.

Glasgall is a governor of the Overseas Press Club Foundation and has been a member of the Board of Overseers of the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship Program in Economics and Business Journalism at Columbia University, where he was also a fellow. He is a graduate of Boston University and lives in New Jersey.
