Gabrielle Coppola is a business and economics reporter living in Detroit, Michigan. She currently covers the auto industry for Bloomberg News. She previously wrote about Israeli tech for Bloomberg, pursuing an interest in the intersection of technology, labor, and the future of work. As a foreign correspondent in Sao Paulo, Brazil, she followed the country’s experiments with state-led capitalism. Before that, she covered the meltdown of U.S credit markets in the 2008 financial crisis.  Her work has appeared in BloombergBusinessweek, Bloomberg Markets Magazine, CNNMoney, and the Wall Street Journal. 

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, she moved to New York to find her Jewish-Italian roots somewhere between the Gowanus Canal and Sheepshead Bay. She loves living in Detroit, much to the shock of her east coast friends and family. She worked for the AFL-CIO and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in a previous life.
