Lucia Dore

About I am a financial/business investigative journalist/editor with many years experience in the print and online media working in the UK and Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Asia/Pacific. I have written articles, White Papers, management reports and books. I have significant management experience, including recruiting and hiring personnel, conducting annual staff assessments, staff training and mentoring. I managed a team of journalists across the Middle East. My experience also includes working closely with management to develop ideas and lead projects in order to build and expand new business. In 2015 I completed a documentary film entitled "Stepping up: NZ's response to the refugee crisis". https://www.luciadore.com/blog/stepping-up-nz-s-response-to-the-refugee-crisis. I have since co-authored books on refugees and am at the forefront of other podcasts. I am also a researcher and communications professional and will undertake all types of freelance financial and technology research, writing, editing and documentary work. (www.luciadore.com). I have worked in NZ Treasury where I forecast inflation and operating surplus. I combine editorial integrity with commercial flair, can build strong relationships with sales and marketing as well as with sponsors. I have written many case studies, investigative articles, opinion pieces, books and newsletters as well as web content. In the UK, where I lived and worked for 17.5 years, I wrote and edited magazines for Euromoney Institutional Investor plc, The Chartered Institute of Bankers (CIB) (now the Institute of Financial Services), The Financial Times, The Banker and technology yearbooks. I have also written White Papers on topics such as knowledge management, shareholder value, technology in financial services and Basle. In the Middle East, I wrote for Khaleej Times, Total, Mergermarket (part of the FT group), FDI Magazine, The Banker, and The Financial Times as well as writing White Papers for Wharton Business School and Amwal Al Khaleej (Saudi Arabia). In Asia (Vietnam, China, Singapore) and Australasia (New Zealand and Australia) I have written for Private Equity International; MLex; Newsmodo; and FDI magazine. In New Zealand, I've co-founded a company, www.behaviouralshift.com, that looks at the interaction of technology and people who are 60 and over. The company aims to empower the older person. I also teach business English online and in 2019 I lived in Vietnam doing just that. An online Business English course and book are now available- www.learnbusinessenglish.net.
