Christine Dunn is founder and president of Savoir Media Co., a consulting firm based in Belmont, Massachusetts, that provides communications, media training and editorial strategy services for businesses.

Prior to starting her company, Ms. Dunn worked at Bloomberg News for more than a decade. She began in the company's Princeton office, where she spent six years as a reporter, editor and then leader of the North America Consumer/Retail Team.

In June 2002, Ms. Dunn was named Bureau Chief of Boston, Bloomberg's second largest market in North America after New York. During her tenure, Bloomberg's staff increased to 22 from seven with the addition of a broadcast desk for Bloomberg Radio and Television, and the expansion of the Investment team. The bureau produced a radio talk-show called "Simply Put" that was on the air six days a week, hired a full-time television producer, and hosted a monthly roundtable series of executives and academics in New England.

During her first two years in Boston, Ms. Dunn helped build Bloomberg's North America mutual funds coverage, first as a separate team and then as part of a group covering the global investing industry, which also includes hedge funds, private equity and real estate. In March 2005, she was asked to spearhead Bloomberg's coverage of education in North America.

Before joining Bloomberg in October 1995, Ms. Dunn spent two years working and studying in Tokyo and completed a master's degree in Asian studies and international business from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. She received her undergraduate degree at Tufts University, and also earned certificates for Japanese language study at Keio University and the International Conversation Academy in Tokyo.

In addition to her consulting work for companies, ranging from Fortune 500 firms to entrepreneurial start-ups, Ms. Dunn works with the Center for Women and Enterprise in Boston, counseling women entrepreneurs on marketing strategies for their new businesses.
