I’m a journalist on the Money & Work team at the BBC in England. I previously worked as the Andean correspondent for The Financial Times, as the BBC's correspondent in Chile and as a Reuters reporter in Europe, the Middle East and South America. In all, I've reported from over 20 countries in a career of more than three decades. You can read, hear and watch some of my work here although to read my FT work in full you'll need a subscription.

I've been a journalist for over 30 years. I started at Reuters, where I was staff for 14 years. I covered conflicts in Iraq and Lebanon, World Cups in South Korea and South Africa and dozens of other major news stories. I was chief correspondent in Dublin and Santiago. I then went freelance in Chile, working mostly for The BBC and The Economist but for other media too, from Time magazine to The Guardian to NPR. From there I moved to Colombia where I was the FT's Andean correspondent. In recent years I’ve started teaching journalism to others. I’ve run training courses for the Thomson Reuters Foundation in Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela and for the United Nations in Panama. I work in print, radio and television. I currently work on the BBC's Money & Work team in England.
