I would like to welcome Salvador Rodriguez back to the CNBC.com team. Salvador returns to serve as deputy editor of technology news in San Francisco, reporting to Senior Editor Ari Levy.

Salvador has spent the past nearly three years with the Journal, where he covered the business of social media. In his previous tenure at CNBC.com, he covered Facebook and other social media companies. In his new role, he will help oversee coverage of some of the biggest companies in the world. He starts Sept. 9.
