Durrani departs Bloomberg Media

Arif Durrani

Bloomberg Media executive editor Arif Durrani is departing the organization after six-and-a-half years overseeing Europe, Middle East and Africa.

On LinkedIn, Durrani wrote, “The next stage for Bloomberg Media is to focus on building out standalone Studios teams outside of London for the Middle East and Africa and, as such, presents an opportune time for me to stand back and take a breath. I have no doubt the team will go on to do amazing things and I’ll be cheering them on from the sidelines.”

Before joining Bloomberg, Durrani was an editor at Haymarket Media Group in London.

He was also a senior reporter and news editor at Centaur Communications’ Marketing Week. And he was a features editor and reporter at M&M Europe, which covered global media and marketing.
