Reorg reporter Amarnath is departing

Nish Amarnath

Reorg Research reporter Nish Amarnath is leaving the news organization.

His last day is April 1.

“I’ve been at Reorg for well more than one and a half years,” she wrote in an email to her sources. “Through all this time, working and collaborating with each of you has been a great adventure. The last time I met some of you face to face was at the Las Vegas Distressed Investing Conference, just prior to the lockdown in March 2020.”

Amarnath covered bankruptcies, distressed debt and broader credit markets. She focused specifically on the energy sector — renewables, midstream/upstream oil and gas — although there was a spillover into sectors such as real estate, technology and retail.

She previously was a reporter for S&P Global Markets before she went freelance in late 2017, writing for Dow Jones. She is the author of “Victims For Sale,” published by HarperCollins.

Amarnath is also a faculty member at New York Writers Workshop, a non-profit alliance of published authors and professional writers and journalists.
