Two-time Loeb winner Ivry among 90 Bloomberg layoffs

Bob Ivry

Two-time Gerald Loeb Award winner Bob Ivry is among the approximate 90 staffers who were laid off at Bloomberg on Thursday.

Ivry has been at Bloomberg since 2006 as a reporter and editor and has also won a George Polk Award. And he is the author of “The Seven Sins of Wall Street: Big Banks, Their Washington Lackeys, and the Next Financial Crisis.”

He also worked at the San Francisco Examiner and the Bergen Record in New Jersey.

Prior to the layoffs there were more than 3.100 employees total in Bloomberg Editorial & Research, so the layoffs mean less than 3 percent of employees are expected to leave the company.

Bloomberg LP, the parent company, has more than 20,000 employees. The restructuring is global.

Also laid off was former Atlanta bureau chief Anita Sharpe, who is currently in a senior editing role.
