edit data

Onaran came to the United States in 1987 to study at the College of Wooster in Ohio. After finishing Columbia University’s School of Journalism and School of International & Public Affairs, Onaran started working as a reporter. He found himself on war zones first. The switch to financial journalism was coincidental, but he realized the powerful leaders of the business world had to be held to account for their actions just as much as the politicians of the world. Onaran has been working for Bloomberg News since 1998 in many capacities, among those Istanbul bureau chief and magazine writer. He was covering Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns when the financial crisis hit. He’s currently a senior writer focusing on global and national banking.
