Daniel Bases

Latin Finance has hired veteran journalist Daniel Bases as its managing editor.

Bases will oversee all editorial operations and also moderate and chair discussions at LatinFinance’s conferences worldwide.

Bases joins LatinFinance after a 22-year career at Reuters News, where he was an editor and foreign correspondent.

The majority of his tenure was spent editing and reporting on the emerging economies of Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia. His more than decade-long coverage of Argentina’s sovereign debt default led to multiple exclusives and awards.

“It is a thrilling time to be back focused on this region. LatinFinance offers a powerful platform to build up the coverage of these nations and hold leaders to account,” said Bases in a statement. “The publication is poised for growth, innovation and most importantly breaking news that matters to top decision-makers and investors.”
