Bloomberg Businessweek announced Tuesday that Ashlee Vance, former New York Times enterprise technology writer, and Brendan Greeley, former technology and policy correspondent at The Economist, have joined the magazine as staff writers.

“Ashlee and Brendan are incredibly talented reporters with deep knowledge of their industries,” said editor Josh Tyrangiel in a statement. “I’m thrilled to have them join our editorial team.”
