Reuters hires new M&A reporter

Soyoung Kim, who oversees mergers and acquisitions coverage for Reuters in the Americas, sent out the following staff hire announcement on Tuesday:

I’m very excited to announce that Mike Stone has joined the New York M&A team as a reporter focused on energy, financial institutions and real estate. Mike is joining Reuters from M&A focused news service Dealreporter, which was part of the Financial Times Group until recently and now owned by private equity firm BC Partners. At Dealreporter, Mike covered consumer and retail M&A and broke the news that KKR was in talks to buy Del Monte Group for $4 billion, among other exclusives.

Mike, who is starting today and will report to me, will be working closely together with Reuters M&A reporters around the globe as well as other journalists who are driving our financial institutions, energy and natural resources coverage. Please welcome Mike to the newsroom!

Stone has a bachelor’s from Bard College and a master’s from New School University.
