Bloomberg hires Geary as head of content and audience

Joanna Geary

Chris Collins, Bloomberg’s chief product and technology officer for news, sent the following staff announcement Thursday:

All:

I’m delighted to announce that Joanna Geary will join the team next week as our new head of Content & Audience, reporting to me.
Joanna brings to Bloomberg two decades of experience working at the intersection of journalism, technology and product development. She was most recently the senior director of curation and content intelligence at Twitter, now X, and part of its consumer product leadership team. She began her career as a business reporter at the UK’s Birmingham Post, and also led digital initiatives at the Times of London and Guardian newspapers.
Stating the obvious, the content is the product – and we have an enormous opportunity to be the definitive source of news for our users. And so, as part of the News Product, Technology & Publishing group, Joanna will lead our efforts on Terminal content strategy, including content licensing, analysis, curation and engagement. As a member of the senior management team, she will work alongside and in collaboration with Adela Quinones, Monique White, Claudia Quinonez, Tom Terzulli and their teams, COO Lauren Berry as well as our colleagues in Editorial & Research and Engineering. Steve Foxwell and Dan Guest and their teams will report to Joanna.
Please join me in welcoming Joanna to Bloomberg and Core Product.
Thank you.
Chris
