Katrina Hamlin's coverage focuses primarily on finance and the auto industry, with an emphasis on electric vehicles and their impact. Her use of data and breaking news indicates a preference for evidence-based reporting, making her more likely to engage with pitches that include thorough research or exclusive data.
Given her focus on topics such as electric vehicles, Toyota, geopolitics in relation to business in China, and the auto industry at large, Katrina may be interested in expert opinions from those involved directly within these sectors. This could include individuals with first-hand knowledge of developments in the automotive world or insights into geopolitical impacts on businesses operating within China.
As Katrina does not have a specific geographic focus but often covers stories related to China's influence in global industries like automotive manufacturing and technology development (specifically electric vehicles), experts who can provide international perspectives would also be valuable for potential outreach efforts.

HONG KONG (Reuters Breakingviews) - Nissan Motor could be a long, potentially uncomfortable ride for an activist.
China’s new hobbies will be bad news for most retailers.
