WSJ reporter Glazer to cover business leaders and their power

Emily Glazer

Wall Street Journal reporter Emily Glazer is moving to a new beat covering business leaders and the power they wield.

She will be helping to cover big businesses and business leaders, by focusing on developing sources with boards, CEOs and their advisers. She recently covered tech, money and politics during the 2020 election season

“That still includes politics, as well as succession, deals and more,” she wrote on Twitter. “It means delving into companies and their heads in a key moment of change.”

She had covered banking at The Journal before moving to the political beat.

Glazer joined the banking team in 2014 to cover J.P. Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo. She previously worked on the deals team’s bankruptcy beat, covering everything from TXU, the largest leveraged buyout ever to go bust, to the woes of Detroit and Puerto Rico corporate distress at RadioShack, American Apparel, Sbarro and Quiznos.

Before joining Money & Investing, Glazer covered consumer-products companies such as Procter & Gamble, Herbalife and Avon.
