Editorial team

The journalists behind Gambling Satellite. Seventy staff across three bureaus — these are the editors who set the agenda.

Mara Ellison

Editor-in-Chief

Mara has led the newsroom since 2019. Previously a markets editor at a national broadsheet, she sets our editorial standards and reads every front-page story before it ships.

Daniel Okafor

Markets Editor

Daniel covers Bitcoin, ETFs and derivatives from London. A former rates trader, he translates positioning and flows into plain English every weekday in The Daily Close.

Sofia Reyes

Regulation Correspondent

Sofia reports on policy from Washington and Brussels. Her beat is where law meets code — stablecoin bills, enforcement actions and the slow machinery of global rulemaking.

Kenji Tanaka

DeFi & Web3 Reporter

Kenji covers protocols, exploits and on-chain economies from Singapore. He reads the contracts so you don't have to, and tests every product he reviews.
