Title:
Chief Executive Officer & Publisher
Day-to-day:
I founded Global Press 17 years ago to change the face of international journalism. Today, I lead the business side of Global Press and serve as the publisher of Global Press Journal, our award-winning, multi-lingual news publication. I am the author of the forthcoming book (Forbes Books 2023) Byline: How Local Journalists Can Improve the Global News Industry and Change the World. Some of the things I'm most proud of creating at Global Press include our industry-leading Duty of Care program, which provides for the physical, emotional, digital and legal security of our journalists, and the Global Press Style Guide, which exists to promote dignity and precision in international journalism. My greatest passion is creating world-class employment for badass women across the globe.
