"The appointments of Paul and Donna are part of our overarching strategy to enhance our editorial teams with top industry talent. We are drawing on the hedge fund and banking communities to deepen Dow Jones’s reporting and commentary on companies, industries and events for investment bankers and corporate advisors," said Adam Smallman, global managing editor for investment banking coverage at Dow Jones Newswires. "During this time of great change in markets, our editorial focus is firmly on delivering to investment bankers the intelligence that powers deals and transactions. With their industry experience, Paul and Donna will offer a unique perspective on firms, sectors and events for our investment banker readership."
