Quartz editor in chief Kevin Delaney sent out the following staff hire announcement on Wednesday:

I’m happy to announce that Annalisa Merelli has joined Quartz as a reporter on the Ideas team. She will report to S. Mitra Kalita and Lauren Brown, and commission and coordinate with contributors and their pieces, as well as bring her creative eye to stories such as Narendra Modi’s hats and the history of Helvetica on subway maps.

Annalisa has most recently been an editor for Narratively and UN Global Pulse. She is a native of Italy and lived in New Delhi for four years, working at various Wieden & Kennedy publications focused on art, culture, and politics. She also spent some time as a blogger for Benetton in Italy, and has her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Bologna.

Annalisa is creative and dogged, and has been crucial to keeping the Ideas section churning over the last few months. She seemingly doesn’t sleep and is a voracious consumer of news and social media from around the world. You can follow her at @missanabeem

Please join me in congratulating Annalisa on joining Quartz.
