Bio

I am a reporter with Bloomberg News in New York. I write about the U.S. retail sector, focusing on high-end and personal care companies. Previously, I was a correspondent in Madrid, Spain from 2013 to October 2021. I moved to Spain on assignment with The Wall Street Journal and I joined Bloomberg News in January 2019. During my time in Spain, I have covered the country’s economy, the independence movement in the Catalonia region and major Spanish companies, including Zara owner Inditex SA and Banco Santander SA. Before I moved to Madrid, I was a reporter with The Wall Street Journal in New York, where I covered the U.S. municipal bond market, credit-rating firms and pension funds. I also worked in Buenos Aires as a reporter for The Associated Press and a local, English-language newspaper. You can reach me at jneumann25@bloomberg.net or on Twitter at @JENeumann.
