Now an independent journalist, I’ve worked as a reporter in the culture and business sections of The New York Times, and been the editor of the Sunday business section and deputy business editor there as well as a senior editor of Business Week and the managing editor of CNBC, the cable TV network. I write regularly for publications that include The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Architectural Digest, The New Criterion, The Daily Beast, Conde Nast Portfolio, Town & Country, The Art Newspaper and Art + Auction, and my opinion pieces have been published by Forbes.com, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune andThe Boston Globe, as well as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. I also moderate panels, have the occasional speaking engagement, and do consulting work, to editorial and philanthropic clients (and will of course disclose any conflict, should one occur).
Most of my published articles from recent years can be found here. You can sign up for email notification of my published articles here.
