Business Insider finance editor Jeffrey Cane was among the layoffs at the news organization on Thursday.

He had been at Business Insider since April 2022.

“I loved working in such a positive, dynamic newsroom and will miss the reporters and editors there,” he wrote on LinkedIn.

Cane joined from Barron’s, where he’d been the news and features editor since 2017.

He previously was at The New York Times, where he was the editor overseeing finance, banking, hedge funds and the markets. At The Times, he helped lead the expansion of DealBook from a daily newsletter to an online news platform.

He supervised The Times’ coverage of the collapse of MF Global and the rise of non-mortgage housing finance. And he ran the series on the boom in subprime auto lending and on Wall Street’s hiring of the sons and daughters of China’s elite.

Previously, Cane was a stock market editor for Dow Jones, a commentary editor and legal editor for Reuters and a news editor for the web site of Condé Nast Portfolio.
