About Declan

Declan covers the corporate beat: earnings seasons, mergers and acquisitions, boardroom changes and restructurings. He reads the filings so readers don't have to, and prefers the footnotes to the press release. His test for a company story is simple: what changed, for whom, and does the money agree.
