Tom Wright

Tom Wright is cofounder of Project Brazen, a journalism-focused production studio.

In 2018, he co-authored Billion Dollar Whale, the definitive account of one of the world’s most audacious frauds. He’s the creator and host of Fat Leonard, a nine-part podcast about a man who corrupted the U.S. Navy; and Crypto Kingpins, about the feud atop the world of crypto that sent the whole tower tumbling down. Both Billion Dollar Whale and Fat Leonard are being adapted for the screen.

Tom spent over twenty years reporting from Asia for the Wall Street Journal and has lived in Thailand, Indonesia, India, Hong Kong and Singapore. His investigations have exposed corporate and government corruption.

Tom is a Pulitzer finalist, a Gerald Loeb winner, and he was honoured in 2020 with the Shorenstein award from Stanford University for his services to journalism in Asia.
