Digital news website Business Insider said on Monday it had appointed Jamie Heller as its new editor-in-chief, replacing Nicholas Carlson, who announced his departure from the role earlier this year. Heller has been at the Wall Street Journal for over 20 years and was in charge of their global business and technology coverage, including AI and the dominance of the tech giants. “I have also long been a fan of Business Insider.
I subscribed several years ago because I had to – it is that good. Now, I am beyond excited to lead this tremendous publication to new heights,” Heller said in a statement. In May, Carlson announced his decision to step down from his role and said he would stay with the company as editor-at-large after a new editor-in-chief gets appointed.
Business Insider, a news website established in 2007 by German media conglomerate Axel Springer, was initially launched as a “Silicon Alley Insider” with a focus on startups and technology. Over time, it broadened its scope to cover finance, markets and a variety of other industries..
