On our season 3 premiere of Press Profiles, we’re doing our “Due Diligence” with the FT's corporate finance and deals editor. Arash Massoudi grew up in Tallahassee, Florida but has made himself a successful career across the pond reporting on the biggest corporate deals, and most recently, the growing intersection of sports and business. Arash’s journey to London included an unpaid internship for the Charlie Rose show, one failed job as a waiter, and a position in The White House with the Obama administration. We get into all those stints, discuss what he’s focused on today, where he sees the future of his reporting, our shared love for sports, where to eat in London, broken bathroom doors, and of course, a whole lot more.
