Bloomberg Media chief executive officer M. Scott Havens has been hired by the New York Mets to be president of business operations.

He will start his new job in January.

“The opportunity to join the Mets organization is a lifelong dream fulfilled,” said Havens in a statement. “I’m thrilled to build upon the great work under way, accelerating the push to modernize our strategy across the organization, driving new digital and media innovation, and ultimately, to provide our fans with the best experience in sports.”

Prior to Bloomberg, Havens was senior vice president of Digital at Time Inc., where he managed operations and drove the strategic development of digital products within the news, business, sports, and entertainment publications.

Havens was also previously president of The Atlantic, playing a key role in the successful digital transformation of the magazine, including strategy and operational roles in the digital launches of The Atlantic Wire, Quartz and CityLab, which was acquired by Bloomberg Media in 2019.
