I found a new job and am no longer actively writing here. Although I continue to cover Latin American energy companies, I decided that it’s perfectly fine to write behind a paywall in exchange for a salary. I’m still keeping up with your thoughts and comments, so feel free to send in your tips and feedback. I read everything! Thank you for an amazing few years, for your generous donations, and for all the valuable leads and insights. Until next time!
UPDATE December 6, 2015: I realize my farewell wasn’t the most heartfelt. This blog has been a truly wonderful journey. I’ve connected with many of you via e-mail, phone, or occasionally in person, and you’ve been an incredible community. I will miss the tips, the encouragement, and the moments of shared frustration you’ve expressed over the years.
It was sometimes disheartening to see large law firms, government agencies, and multinational corporations seeking free information. However, the genuine individuals out there, striving to uncover the truths behind the complex energy sector, made it all worthwhile. I will keep you posted if I discover a way to resume public writing that won’t interfere with my professional commitments.
In the meantime, if you’re affiliated with a large law firm, multinational corporation, or government agency, please check out REDD Intelligence. It’s an excellent source for coverage of distressed companies and sovereigns in Latin America.
I also continue to share updates from time to time on Twitter. Hope to see you there!
