Edmund Heaphy, a reporter for Yahoo Finance in London, is leaving after two years with the news organization.

Heaphy said on Twitter that he will be freelancing for now and taking on a new job in 2021.

He has been primarily focused on the technology industry, writing often about startups and venture capital firms. He has a special interest in the effects of government and EU policy on tech giants such as Facebook and Google, but he also wrote about central banks and fintech.
