Chana Schoenberger

Although she wanted to be a writer since childhood, BJT’s Money Matters columnist didn’t decide to go into business journalism until college, when she spent a summer interning at Bloomberg News. There she realized that writing about business would allow her to cover the intersection of money, people and power. 

A Harvard graduate who also has a master’s from the Columbia School of Journalism, Schoenberger spent a decade writing about technology and business at Forbes in New York, then lived in Tokyo from 2007 to 2010, where she reported and edited for Forbes and Bloomberg News. From 2010 to 2012, she covered foreign exchange at the Wall Street Journal in New York.

Now a freelancer, Schoenberger is a columnist for BBC Capital and writes regularly for the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Business, Reuters and other publications and news services. She lives in New York City with her family and is at work on her third book collaboration with a CEO.
