Announcing a boatload of promotions and our new US editorial leadership team
I wanted to share some exciting news with you: We just announced many well-deserved promotions in our Business Insider US newsroom, along with our new US editorial leadership team.
We also announced a new Executive Editor for Tech Insider.
I've included the notes I sent to our teams this morning below. Please see them for details.
At all of our Insider publications, our mission is simple: To serve you.
Specifically, we strive to tell stories you love and bring you news and information you need - and get them to you wherever and whenever you want them, on every platform and screen.
The digital medium is profoundly different than print and television. Producing great digital journalism requires every bit as much focus, talent, enthusiasm, and expertise in the digital medium as it does in print and TV. I believe that our editorial team is the most talented team of digital journalists on the planet. It is a pleasure and privilege to have so many of our colleagues continue to lead the charge and take on new roles and responsibilities.
Thank you very much for your continued support and attention.

Madeline Stone, who has done an excellent job as our Executive Life editor over the past year, will continue to lead that team.
