Allie Garfinkle is a senior writer and editor at Fortune, where she runs Term Sheet—the flagship weekday dealmaking newsletter—and leads coverage of private capital, investors, and startups.

The host of the Term Sheet podcast, she’s also been a frequent moderator at major conferences like SXSW and regular contributor to the BBC. Before Fortune, Allie covered Amazon, Google, and Meta at Yahoo Finance and helped produce Emmy-nominated PBS Frontline documentaries, including Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover and The Power of the Fed.
