You don't need another journalist

From traditional markets to digital assets and tokenisation, I combine meticulous research with insights gathered through conversations across investment teams. I go beyond public filings to uncover early intentions and emerging opportunities, translating complex financial and market dynamics into clear, actionable analysis.

About Me
I’m a financial journalist and researcher specialising in institutional investments, asset allocation, and broader market trends across public and private markets. I’m particularly interested in the future of finance – how blockchain, Web3, and emerging technologies, from digital assets and tokenisation to crypto venture, are reshaping traditional investing.
I gained my experience at With Intelligence (now part of S&P Global), covering US and Canadian institutional investors, including asset allocation trends, portfolio moves, and consultant insights. Over four years, I built trusted relationships with pension plans, endowments, foundations, consultants, and GPs; conducted exclusive interviews with senior investment staff and CIOs; produced fast-turnaround reporting; attended industry conferences; and dug beyond public filings to uncover forward-looking signals and emerging opportunities.
I hold two master’s degrees – Law from the University of Warsaw and Philosophy from the University of Warwick – and have contributed to human rights and advocacy projects, with experience in recruitment and archival research. Living in multiple countries (Poland, the UK, and France) and working in international environments has given me a global perspective and the ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
In a world where data can be scraped instantly and AI can churn out content in minutes, you don’t need someone whose work can be replaced by a tool. If you value well-researched, engaging content rooted in trust and real conversations – whether reporting, research, or communications – let’s connect.
Peer Recognition
"I worked closely with Anna during her entire career at With Intelligence, from when she started as a Data Researcher to her eventual role as Senior Reporter. Anna always stood out as a hard working, high-performer in these roles which led to her (well earned) promotion opportunities. Whilst managing her, I would rely on her to train and mentor junior members of the team, whilst also seeking her assistance with technical data tasks. She has a natural curiosity and a willingness to positively challenge processes, which allowed her to transition between teams/roles in a fast growing business."
"I worked alongside Anna for years at With Intelligence, firstly when I was a Data Quality Specialist, which included reviewing Anna's writing and research and providing feedback on how she could improve. She excelled in her role and was always destined to climb the company from the get go. This lead to her promotion to Senior Data Researcher in April 2022. Anna took to the financial industry effortlessly despite coming from a legal background and her eagerness and eye for detail caught the attention of our editorial department who were quick to poach her from our data focussed team. From speaking to the editorial team they would very much have liked her to climb higher through the ranks and a promotion yet again for Anna was on the cards when she decided to leave the company. I've never felt so much ease in recommending anyone for a role before as I know Anna takes on every job she has with vigour and enthusiasm and her personality and dedication to people is addictive. Truly she is a wonder and I would highly recommend considering Anna for the position."
"I’ve worked with Anna for over two years covering the US institutional investor space across asset classes. She is an experienced professional and a strong team player. Anna has consistently demonstrated excellent relationship-building skills, intelligence and agility. She works well under tight deadlines and can handle multiple tasks with ease. Her motivation to grow and deepen her expertise makes her an excellent choice for any expanding journalistic team."
"I had the pleasure of working with Anna for a number of years and can say, with confidence, that she is an exceptional freelance journalist. Anna's ability to uncover compelling stories is unrivalled. This, combined with her sterling attention to detail, sets her apart from other reporters. Anna is a reliable writer, consistently meeting tight deadlines without compromising on quality. Her reporting is both engaging and well-sourced, and she has a natural talent for drawing out authentic narratives that resonate with readers. Beyond her technical skills, Anna demonstrates strong editorial judgment and a genuine commitment to accurate, responsible journalism. She's adaptable across different topics and publication styles, and her communication is always clear and collaborative. I would absolutely recommend Anna for any organization looking for a talented journalist who always delivers."
"Anna supported me with in-depth research on footage and stills, as well as fact-checking information for a feature documentary we are working on. Her meticulous approach and strong ability to identify, connect, and structure crucial information were truly impressive, especially combined with her excellent background in history, politics, and social matters."
