I’ve been at the Financial Times since 2004, and became Interactive editor in 2006. In 2008-09 I was Technology correspondent, and then went back to be Interactive editor again in 2009. I’m now editor/writer on the emerging markets desk, which produces the blog beyondbrics (see other page). Over the years I’ve written a fair few different things for the paper and website, when time and ideas allowed. Here’s some of the better things. (You could use the FT search engine if you really wanted to find every news story and blurb I’ve ever done.)
