CNBC.com executive editor and vice president Xana Antunes sent out the following staff hire on Wednesday morning:
I’m delighted to announce that Tom Lowry is joining us Monday, April 22nd as Senior Editor, overseeing our economics and politics coverage as part of our newly-created Enterprise desk. Reporting to Jeff Nash, Tom will also serve as our liaison to NBC News.
A veteran business news writer and editor, Tom has extensive experience managing teams of reporters and editors, working across all platforms from print, digital, video and social. His talents are many, spanning breaking news, analysis and investigative work and he brings a wealth of contacts and formidable news judgment to the task.
Most recently, Tom was business editor at The Daily, News Corp.’s tablet-only news publication. There, he not only served up a daily dose of business news seven days a week, but he also worked closely with the art department to develop cool interactive data-visualization features.
Prior, Tom briefly alighted at Variety after an 11-year run at BusinessWeek, where he coordinated its media and entertainment beat coverage. Earlier in his career, he worked at USA Today and the Daily News where he covered a bunch of beats, ranging from Wall St and white collar crime to economic development and retail.
He is a terrific addition to our team. Make sure you offer him a warm welcome when he comes aboard.
