About

I am a senior columnist at Bloomberg Opinion covering corporate America.

Previously I was a senior editor at Fortune, where I wrote features on leadership and management issues, gender and race, food, consumer behavior, and sustainability. I co-edited Fortune's annual Most Powerful Women in Business franchise, co-hosted the Fortune Reinvent podcast, and co-chaired several Fortune conferences — including the Most Powerful Women Summit, MPW Next Gen Summit, and the Fortune Global Sustainability Summit. I also co-chaired the Fortune-U.S. State Department Global Women Leaders Mentoring Partnership,

My work has been honored by the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW), the National Press Club, the Newswomen's Club of New York, the New York Press Club, the New York Society of CPAs, Silurians Press Club, Houghton Mifflin’s Best American Food Writing, and Longform.org.

I’m a graduate of Bowdoin College and Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

I live in upper Manhattan with my son, daughter, and husband, photographer Karsten Moran.
