Michelle Leder is a veteran, award-winning financial journalist, with 10 years spent as business reporter and later editor for daily newspapers followed by 6 years freelancing for The New York Times, BusinessWeek, Business 2.0, Slate, and others. Michelle focuses on corporate governance, with an emphasis on executive pay and perks. We think her work addresses a critical perspective that is too often overlooked in stock-buying decisions. The integration of her work (from her blog Footnoted.org) into Seeking Alpha allows shareholders and investors to add consideration of corporate governance and executive pay to more common analysis of fundamentals, valution and technicals in their research of stocks. Her approach is outlined in her first book, Financial Fine Print.
