Laura Kuenssberg & James Kelly

British journalist Laura Kuenssberg became the first woman to serve as political editor for the BBC. While she is a groundbreaking woman, she didn’t just fill a gap. She has earned the respect of her peers for her work and has held the job since July 2015.

She also briefly worked as the correspondent for Newsnight from 2014 to 2015. She intends to step down in Easter 2022, which leaves her with some more time to spend with her husband management consultant James Kelly. They currently have no children, but that may change with all the free time she is about to have.
