I contributed features regularly to this major news daily from Amsterdam and around Europe on business and lifestyle topics. Coverage included local matters, but also sweeping features on economic and social trends. My coverage was distinguished by investigative reporting and very lively writing.

Short project in which I edited the 2007 Yearbook for the European Banking Federation.
The book included detailed technical articles on banking and finance, all of which we made accessible to the general reader, and put into attractive visual form.
The project ended with the good reception of the published Yearbook in January.

As research manager, I am responsible for the writing, editing, and production of 7 quarterly reports on business and finance in the Middle East. The reports cover changing business trends across a variety of sectors. I manage a staff of researchers and writers, as well as contributing my own work. This work is handled from my home office.

As editorial director, I launched and edited three magazines (and their associated electronic publications) devoted to European affairs, with particular reference to development. Working closely with European Commmission officials, I built the magazines as channels for tracking EU investment in developing countries, and as a means to bring the latest information on projects in developing countries to the attention of European administration and business. The magazines quickly garnered audiences of 35,000 along with substantial advertising support.

As a reporter and writer for Time Magazine, I provided coverage of European business and politics for this major news weekly. Although coverage of The Netherlands was my principal responsibility, I also worked around Europe and the UK to write significant breaking news and features. I worked closely with the team in London and around Europe to produce joint features.

I was recruited by KPMG to co-lead a team of journalists and technicians which created and produced a wide variety of print and electronic documents to vehicule new ideas in financial services, provide materials for audit proposals, etc. Work included frequent interface both with senior management and clients, and support for projects in all aspects of the banking line of business.

I was recruited by IBM to set up an external Web site about IT in developing countries. I researched, wrote, and designed the site, which attracted an audience of 25,000 unique users. I promoted the site with visits around Eastern Europe, and other parts of the developing world, doing interviews which appeared on it, and also working with management to attract client audiences.

For the first part of this period, I acted as Paris correspondent.
My cover stories on the slow speed of finance law reform in the country and my expos of Credit Lyonnais enjoyed some renown at the time they were published. Further investigative work was credited at the time with speeding the opening up of the French government bond trading system to foreign banks. Along with my work in the French capital, I traveled regularly to Eastern Europe, doing macro-economic profiles of Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and the Russian regions of Perm and Siberia.
