Elliot Smith
I'm a British journalist with eight years' domestic and international experience covering geopolitics, economics and sport. I will soon be relocating to Copenhagen after five years as a Correspondent for CNBC in London, and will be available to produce written news and features for English-language media, along with visual and audio commentary. During my time at CNBC, my coverage ranged from a series of coups and growing Russian diplomatic influence in sub-Saharan Africa to the UK's cost-of-living crisis, from the collapse of Credit Suisse to live coverage of the war in Ukraine. I have extensive experience covering central banks, corporate earnings reports and other breaking business/financial news. My rate is negotiable, and I will be available for commissions from April 12, 2024. Though based in Copenhagen, I am willing to travel for up to three months at a time for special projects.
