Pui-Wing Tam Is Our Next Business Editor

There's no shortage of consequential business stories today. The dizzying emergence of artificial intelligence and how it is reshaping the way we work and live. The shifting American economy and its impact at home and abroad. The fracturing media ecosystem and its never-ending battle for audience and influence.

Our Business desk covers it all, producing robust daily coverage that's indispensable to everyone from power brokers on Wall Street and in Washington and Silicon Valley to readers seeking to understand technology, business and the economic forces shaping the world.

We are thrilled to announce that Pui-Wing Tam will lead the charge as our next Business editor. She is a magnet for talent and has guided major enterprise, delivered world-beating scoops and built a tremendous culture around her. Now, she will turn her many skills to guiding the Business desk's next chapter, ensuring its journalism sings in a variety of formats.

Pui-Wing joined The Times in 2015 as technology editor and was named deputy business editor in 2018. Over the past decade, she has been a guiding force behind many of our most ambitious tech and business stories. She has overseen in-depth coverage of Meta, cryptocurrency, Elon Musk and his companies, and the latest developments in and around A.I. Under her leadership, her reporters have won an array of the most prestigious awards in the business, including George Polk awards, Gerald Loeb awards and Pulitzer Prizes, including the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in Investigative Reporting.

Before joining The Times, Pui-Wing led U.S. tech coverage at Bloomberg from 2013 to 2015. Prior to that, she was a reporter and editor at The Wall Street Journal for many years, covering technology and Silicon Valley through some of its most transformational developments, including the introduction of the iPhone , tech giant I.P.O.s and efforts to create a new kind of software that could emulate how humans think.

Pui-Wing's dogged reporting once produced a twist more reminiscent of Hollywood than news media: After she reported in 2005 that the board of Hewlett-Packard was unhappy with its C.E.O., the company hired investigators to surveil Pui-Wing, including digging through her phone and text records - and her trash .

Pui-Wing was born in Hong Kong and raised there and in Tokyo. She began her career in journalism as an intern at The Economist in 1994 before joining The Journal as a reporter in Hong Kong in 1995. She has a bachelor's degree in modern history from Oxford and a master's degree in journalism from Columbia.

She's as fierce a journalist and editor as she is deeply respected by her team and colleagues across the newsroom. We're thrilled to welcome her to New York after more than two decades on the West Coast.

Please join us in congratulating Pui-Wing on her new role.
