M&A reporter Spaulding departs Reuters

Rebecca Spaulding

Rebecca Spaulding, a mergers and acquisitions reporter at Reuters, has left the news organization.

Her last day was last week.

“I’m moving on to something new and very exciting that I will talk about soon,” she wrote on Twitter. “But for now, I’m so thankful for having worked with all my Reuters colleagues, who are world-class journalists and even better people.”

Spaulding had been with Reuters since September 2019. She had most recently been on a temporary assignment as part of its COVID-19 team. She had also focused on biotech, pharma, healthcare, and industrial sectors.

She previously covered biotechnology as a beat reporter at Bloomberg News, where she also covered municipal bonds.

Spaulding holds a bachelor’s degree from Barnard College and a master’s degree from New York University.
