In her most recent role as global managing editor at Reuters, Betty oversaw editorial operations for 3,000 staff journalists working in 200 news bureaus around the world. Her bylines have ranged from covering white collar crime on Wall Street to stories on the stock market and brokerages to a new world record for the largest group performing the hokey pokey. Renowned US advice columnist Ann Landers called Betty decades ago on a story that appeared in The Wall Street Journal. Betty took the opportunity to ask Ann Landers for career advice and followed it, becoming a reporter first and then an editor. As Reuters global managing editor, Betty was reported to be the most senior Asian woman editor in the world. Betty lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with her husband Terry and daughters Kristen and Amanda. She served as a juror for the Pulitzer Prizes in Journalism and on the boards of the Overseas Press Club Foundation and Columbia University’s Knight-Bagehot Fellowship. Jewel of the Kingdom is Betty’s first book and a highly rewarding personal family project.view less
