Fortune editor in chief Alyson Shontell sent out the following:

All,

I’m here to announce some good news to roll us into the weekend. …

While we have been busy hiring, we have also been busy promoting!

Alexei Oreskovic has been promoted to West Coast Bureau Chief and Tech Editor (previous title: Tech Editor). For reporters, there is no one more expert or better to be in the trenches with than Alexei. We are lucky he is here and leading us on core industry coverage.

Lydia Belanger has been promoted to Senior Director of Production (previous title: Director of Production). In addition to orchestrating all of the digital components for our rankings, newsletters, partnerships, and editorial-tech needs, Lydia will be helping with pre-production of the magazine and all of the many deliverables that come with it. She’s diligent, collaborative, and she’s going to crush it.

Indrani Sen is our new Editor, Fortune Magazine (previous title: Senior Features Editor). Over the past few weeks, I’ve gotten to see Indrani in action and I’ve been blown away. As our most-award-winning editor on staff last year, and an MVP on our features and magazine teams since 2022, she’s savvy, creative and sharp. I can’t wait to see our most ambitious journalism thriving under her leadership.

Alyson
