The Information hires Morning Brew exec to be its COO

Technology news site The Information has hired Matthew Resnick, the former chief operating officer of Morning Brew, as its COO, where he will be tasked with growing its consumer revenue and branded partnerships businesses, reports Mark Stenberg of Adweek.

Stenberg writes, “As part of the shuffle, the publisher has also parted ways with its first-ever chief commercial officer, Karl Wells, who started at the company last August, according to an internal memo whose contents were shared with Adweek.

“A representative for The Information confirmed the news.

“Wells joined The Information after serving as the chief subscriptions officer for Dow Jones, where he managed a team of nearly 150 people and scaled subscription businesses at The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and MarketWatch. At the time of his hiring, Vanity Fair called him a ‘subscription wizard.'”
