Biography
Stephanie Flanders brings together senior-level economic journalism, market strategy and public policy experience, offering organisations clear, credible insight into global economic forces shaping business and leadership decisions. As Senior Executive Editor for Economics at Bloomberg News, she leads Bloomberg Economics, guiding analysis and research that informs governments, investors and corporate leaders worldwide.
Her work sits at the intersection of economics, markets and policy. At Bloomberg, she oversees coverage and interpretation of macroeconomic trends, financial conditions and economic risk, translating complex data into practical understanding for decision-makers. This perspective is grounded in hands-on experience from global media, financial institutions and government.
Before Bloomberg, Flanders served as Chief Market Strategist for Europe at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, advising on economic developments and their implications for investors and institutions. Earlier, she spent more than a decade at the BBC, including as BBC Economics Editor, shaping national and international understanding of economic policy, crises and recovery.
Her international perspective is further strengthened by her work as a reporter at The New York Times and her role in the US Treasury, where she served as a senior adviser and speechwriter to the Treasury Secretary. These roles provided direct exposure to economic policymaking at the highest level.
Beyond journalism and finance, Flanders has chaired the RSA Inclusive Growth Commission and holds governance roles in cultural and educational organisations. She is an Honorary Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, reflecting her ongoing contribution to economic thinking and public debate.
