I am a senior investigative journalist, editor and author with particular experience in cross-border, follow-the-money and feminist investigations. I am also a non-profit media innovator, passionate about the role journalism can play in social change.

With Dr. Justin Schlosberg and Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, I am a co-founder and co-director of the new non-profit Institute for Journalism and Social Change. Previously, I was Head of Global Investigations at the independent media outlet openDemocracy where I built a global team and fellowship programme dedicated to tracking the backlash against women’s and LGBTQI rights. Before that, I worked as a data journalist at The Guardian, and was a fellow at the Centre for Investigative Journalism at Goldsmiths, University of London.

My writing has also appeared in Al Jazeera, CNN, Foreign Policy, The Independent, Mother Jones, The New York Review of Books, The Observer, and Vice Italy among other outlets. I’ve also guest lectured for several years in the MA in Investigative Reporting programme at Birkeck, University of London, and I’ve additionally worked as a research and editorial consultant for various organisations. My first book, Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy (with Matt Kennard) was published in May 2023 with Bloomsbury Academic.

I grew up in Canada and have degrees from Harvard and Columbia universities. I live in Italy.
