Ryan Heath’s Biography

Now at Axios. From 2015-2023 Ryan created the POLITICO's Brussels Playbook, Davos Playbook and Global Insider. As political editor at POLITICO Europe, he moderated the first 2019 EU Presidential Debate.

He began writing for national newspapers in his native Australia in 1999, and is the author of two books including the cult classic “Please Just F* Off, It’s Our Turn Now,” an account of how the Baby Boomers / 68er generation are viewed by the Millenial generation.

After working as a speechwriter for the British civil service, he joined the European Commission working for President Jose Manuel Barroso and Vice President Neelie Kroes as a spokesperson. Ryan is regular policy commentator on outlets such as BBC, CNN, MSNBC, and Deutsche Welle. He has reported from major events such as the World Economic Forum in Davos, G7 summits and US political conventions.
