About

Credibility starts with facts, not spin. I help companies with something real to say turn their expertise into stories audiences trust. I write and edit articles, shoot photos, and co-produce videos for publication and internal use, working closely with in-house teams across a handful of organizations. My writing spans finance, technology, commercial real estate, and entrepreneurship, from banking and capital markets to AI and crypto. I research each topic thoroughly, turning complex data into clear, compelling narratives. Before launching Ghigliotty & Co. in 2021, I spent more than a decade reporting and editing business news and features. My work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Real Deal, and Observer. My colleagues and I have won awards for in-depth reporting from the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW), National Association of Real Estate Editors (NAREE), Newswomen's Club of New York, and New York Press Club. I now partner with clients recognized for advancing sustainable development and expanding capital access for women and minority entrepreneurs.
