Bloomberg Businessweek announced Monday that Kristin Powers has been named managing editor of the magazine.
“Kristin is incredibly talented and has tremendous production experience,” said Tyrangiel in a statement. “We are thrilled to have her join our team.”
Powers joins Bloomberg Businessweek from Miramax/Weinstein Books, where she was most recently associate publisher. During her decade with the company, she also served as creative director and director of production and worked closely with authors including Rudy Giuliani, Queen Noor, and Larry King. She is a graduate of New York University.
Powers replaces Ciro Scotti, who left the magazine earlier this fall. He had been at the magazine since 1978.

Another name on the hit list: Patricia O'Connell, which demonstrates that the new management just doesn't get it. Patricia is not only one of the most loved and respected people at BusinessWeek, she is a tireless editor whose ceaseless striving for excellence made her stand out, even in a pack that once featured such luminaries as Kathy Rebello and Martin Keohan (who labors on, thank God).
Patricia will make the most of the situation. Even in this depressed market there will be no shortage of employers lining up to make the best use of her prodigious talents.
Employers should look at some of patricia's best work. For example, the masterly picture galleries she assembled on the CEO potential of comicbook superheroes and her 10 favourite Barbie dolls. That was pushing business journalism in a new, fresh direction -- and I guess the traditionalists just aren't ready for a woman, particularly a plus-size woman, to lead the way.
One thing, though, can be guaranteed: Where ever she lands next, morale will shoot through the roof. Patricia's talent for gleaning little tidbits about people's private lives and passing them on to interested parties, particularly at supervisor level, is without equal. Oh, and if the boss ever gets sick, count on Patricia, who would scuttle over to Kathy Rebello's apartment with homemade chicken soup at the first sound of a sniffle.
She is a piece of work, our Patricia.
