He was Gizmodo editor in chief since June.

“I am gearing up to deliver stellar consumer tech content,” wrote Ackerman on LinkedIn. “Think insightful product reviews, savvy shopping tips, buying guides, and hands-on videos.”

Ackerman came to Gizmodo from consumer technology publication CNET, where he most recently served as editorial director, overseeing coverage of key tech topics including computers, gaming and virtual/augmented reality.
