Kamal Ahmed is leaving The Telegraph to join Fortune as executive editorial director for UK and Europe, reports Charlotte Tobitt of Press Gazette.
Tobitt reports, “Ahmed’s role is aimed at building Fortune’s presence and visibility across Europe including via Fortune.com, the print magazine, newsletters and Fortune events. Video and audio are also planned to be areas of expansion.
“Fortune said Ahmed will ‘amplify Fortune’s voice in Europe through live journalism, compelling editorial storytelling, and by helping to shape exclusive curated conferences and private events that connect C‑suite leaders across industries and borders.’
“His arrival at Fortune comes as it rebuilds its team focused on Europe. It made its four-strong London-based editorial team, including executive editor Alex Wood Morton, redundant this summer. Some Europe-based staff remained but they reported to the US rather than as part of that Europe-focused team.”
