She served as the Journal’s deputy bureau chief in London before transferring to New York, creating the “Managing Your Career” column and sharing a Pulitzer Prize for stories about corporate scandals.
Her coverage of corporate governance, executive pay, management recruiting and succession appeared on the Journal’s front page and Business & Tech section.
Lublin is also the author of “Earning It: Hard-Won Lessons from Trailblazing Women at the Top of the Business World.”
