Lead Trainer
Olaya Argüeso Pérez has extended experience in cross-border investigations. She has been editor-in-chief at CORRECTIV, where she led its international investigations since 2019. After over a decade of reporting about the economy, business and finance at Spain's most important radio network (Cadena SER), Olaya expanded her expertise into data journalism and joined the Lede Program at Columbia University. She then joined CORRECTIV as a reporter and participated in cross-border investigations like The CumEx Files and Grand Theft Europe, which exposed multi-billion tax frauds happening all over Europe. Since 2023, she led CORRECTIV.Europe, a pioneering network of European local journalists who worked together in cross-border investigations.
This event is organised by Transitions as part of the PluPro project which is co-funded by the European Union and launched by Journalismfund Europe and Transitions.
