My name is Sten A. Hankewitz and I am a journalist, writer and translator.

I have worked in journalism for almost 12 years. I started my career in 1998 as a banking reporter in an Estonian business newspaper Äripäev and moved on from there step by step. After Äripäev I worked as an editor and a reporter for a tabloid called Õhtuleht, and then moved to online journalism as a news editor for a news portal.

After the news portal was merged to one of the biggest newspapers in Estonia, Eesti Päevaleht, I moved up to be the head of the online department. During my five years at this position, the online site of Eesti Päevaleht become one of the most read and most influential news providers in the country. It took a lot of work from my dedicated team, who at times had to literally work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but we managed and I am very proud of that.

In 2006 I successfully applied for a job in the largest property and casualty insurance company in the country - If P&C Insurance - and became a communications manager, where my duties were managing the entire internal and external communications of a company of over 400 people.

From 2007 to 2008 I worked as an editor-in-chief of a new news portal Kalev.ee, where in addition to journalistic management I also was a project manager. According to my plans and projects, a fully functional news portal was developed and created. I was responsible for overall management, recruitment and line management of 15 people. The news portal was unique in the country, providing news in Estonian and Russian and focusing on every locality in the country, providing news from people's "back yards" - their counties, towns and villages.

After leaving Kalev.ee in spring 2008, I resided in Spain's sunny comunidad of Andalucia for several months, and in October 2008 I moved to London, where I've been living since. I work at Roubini Global Economics as an Editor, and on the side I freelance as a journalist and translator. I am also writing a couple of novels.
