Please welcome markets reporter Anora Mahmudova to MarketWatch’s New York bureau. Anora comes to us from the Financial Times, where for seven years she was an equities reporter covering Wall Street, market structure and IPOs, and an online editor.
Before that, she worked for the BBC World Service as a radio reporter in New York. She’s live-blogged events such as the Libya crisis; filmed, edited and produced the FT’s ShortView videos; created data interactives such as stocks’ lost decade; and edited three investment books.

She’s a native of Uzbekistan and is fluent in Russian. We are thrilled to have her here.
