Mansueto Ventures CEO Eric Schurenberg sent out the following announcement on Monday:
We have a new editor in chief of Fast Company. Her name is Stephanie Mehta, and if you’ve followed practically any of Fortune’s cover stories in 2013 or 2014 or its Most Powerful Women in Business franchise, or Bloomberg’s worldwide conferences, or (most recently) Vanity Fair’s New Establishment package, then you know her work.
If you have ever had the good fortune to work along side her, as some of us have, then you know her personally, too. And you can confirm that she is an exacting journalist, a generous leader, and a warm colleague. She’s a true practitioner of excellence in business journalism and a fierce believer in Fast Company’s mission and its vast possibilities as a brand. I have a feeling you’re going to like having her around.
Stephanie starts March 5, after she wraps up a few things at Vanity Fair. When she arrives, please join me in giving her a big welcome.
Eric
Mehta replaces Robert Safian, who left at the end of last year.
