Peter Thal Larsen's career was shaped in part by the great financial crisis. As a reporter for the Financial Times, he had a front row seat to all the action. From there, he pivoted to Reuters’ financial commentary site, Breakingviews, and a little over a year ago he took the helm of the organization as Global Editor. We discuss that journey and the differences between reporting on the news and commenting on it. We also talk eBikes, the social media site Blue Sky, growing up in the Netherlands, baking bread, where he is steering Breakingviews, and of course, a whole lot more.
