About Me
As a 13-year veteran of the newsroom, I think audience-first and remain data-informed.
​
I have experience covering Wall Street, equities, financial policy and regulation, and cryptocurrency and blockchain for S&P Global, MT Newswires and CoinDesk.
I possess the know-how to combine aggregation, reporting and speed to produce stories that are unbiased, properly sourced and cover all the angles. In my writing or when I'm editing, I value plain speaking over jargon while remaining efficient with wordcount.
As a newsroom manager, I have led diverse teams across three offices with empathy and to measurable success. I mentor and coach writers with an eye toward getting them ready for more advanced roles. I've also been part of the recruitment and onboarding processes.
​
When not pushing out stories and meeting deadlines, I like to travel, play football or fire up my PlayStation.
I'm always interested in hearing about new opportunities. Please contact me at jasirjawaid@gmail.com or +92-333-543-8651. My resume can be downloaded here.
