“‘Claire is as stellar a brand name in this business as any of the ones she has made her name covering so thoroughly throughout her career,’ Grossman says. ‘When I heard she had decided to return to a full-time position, I couldn’t call her fast enough and was thrilled when she chose to join our media platforms.’
