We produce 24 hours of programming from three major production hubs; New York, London and Hong Kong with bureaus that provide reporting capabilities across Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. We have reporters providing content on several different platforms including TV, radio, magazine, digital and mobile. The markets are always open anywhere in the world, and so are we.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To you, what\u2019s the most interesting part about covering global business and market activity?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve always been interested in watching how a story evolves globally, how different regions will react. If it&#8217;s something that happened while US markets were open resulting in a big selloff, what will the Asia markets do? Will they stabilize? Continue to selloff? Scenarios like that are interesting to watch how they play out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your first job in the industry?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy first job was interning at Fox News Channel. They (Fox) had just launched in 1996 and were nimble enough that you could get involved in all kinds of different things. For example, the Cavuto show would wrap just after 6pm. I would go to the assignment around 6:45 and ask if they needed help with anything. They sent me on all kinds of assignments from staking out Air Force One to helping with red carpet coverage of the ESPYs awards. I loved it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What one piece of work-related advice you&#8217;ve gotten stands out from the rest?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been extremely fortunate to have been exposed to a lot of really amazing leaders throughout my career. One piece of advice always stood out. Andy Lack once told me, &#8220;you&#8217;re really good at holding your own and speaking up, but it&#8217;s just as important to know when to stop arguing and listen.&#8221; Basically he was telling me to pick my battles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have there been any stories at Bloomberg that you\u2019ve been particularly proud of?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s kind of an odd story and a small thing but made me so proud to be part of. The night Steve Jobs died, no note was sent around telling people to come in. No calls were made alerting people to a special that night. Everyone just came in. Nobody really called to even check. It was the type of story where everyone jumped in no matter your shift of job. We had a full newsroom within an hour.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Our team recently sat down with Mindy
