For almost eight years, I worked as a correspondent and senior correspondent at Reuters, the international news agency. I was trained by their experienced journalists in London before embarking on postings in Vienna, Zurich and Berlin.

Switzerland: Banking, finance, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, luxury goods, politics, economics and monetary policy.
Germany: Politics, general news, international relations, reform and healthcare.
Austria: Politics, economics, energy, oil & gas, telecoms, banking and finance.
