Reuters personal finance editor Lauren Young sent out the following staff announcement on Monday afternoon:
Please join me in welcoming Jilian Mincer to the Reuters Money team.
Jilian, who started on September 12, will help us roll out expanded fund and investing coverage for consumers and financial advisers on Reuters.com. Reporting to me, she will work closely with our colleagues at Lipper, along with the editorial folks who cover investment management and wealth management.
Previously, Jilian was a senior investing reporter at SmartMoney.com, where she covered a range of investing and retirement issues and edited the tax blog. Before that, she was a personal finance columnist for Dow Jones Newswires and wrote a healthcare column for the Sunday Journal.
Despite degrees from the University of Michigan and Northwestern, she remains loyal to KU basketball after working 16 years at the Kansas City Star as a reporter, reporter and columnist.
Jilian is temporarily sitting a few rows away from the Summits Room on 19, not far from Richard Baum and Anthony De Rosa. Stop by and say hello.
