Editor, Writer & Newsletter Strategist

Hey! I’m an experienced editor, writer, and newsletter strategist.

Currently, I lead newsletters at Grid, where I host, write and edit our flagship daily newsletter, Grid Today.

Previously, I was the head newsletter editor at CoinDesk and a senior editor at a news startup.

And before that, at The New Yorker, I edited and produced several newsletters and edited for newyorker.com and Goings On About Town in print.

I’ve written about culture, foreign policy, international affairs, and politics for Grid, The New Yorker, Pacific Standard, Latterly, and other magazines and publications. See more of my writing below.

Russia treats the various conflicts it’s involved in like burners on a range, where it can dial up or scale back the heat when expedient. Putin is arguably less interested in bringing lasting peace to war-torn Syria, and more so in managing the conflict for the longer term by bringing it to a simmer.
