CNBC Digital names new VP of product and design

I’m pleased to announce that Deepanshu (“Deep”) Bagchee will be joining the CNBC Digital team as VP Product & Design. Reporting to me and based in Englewood Cliffs, Deep, with his immense talent and unique experience, is an ideal leader to take on this critical role.

As most of you know, Deep is currently the Head of Digital at CNBC International. Working out of both our London and Singapore offices, he is responsible for creating our current integrated international digital team. Under Deep’s leadership, the team has more than doubled our international content and the new international homepage drove a 4x increase in unique visitors in Dec 2013 versus the same time period the previous year. He joined CNBC four years ago from Fisheye Analytics (now part of Kantar/WPP Group) and also worked at Bloomberg. Deep earned his MBA from INSEAD in France.

Deep will remain in his current role until mid-April to ensure the International team has a great first quarter and we have a smooth transition. In early spring, he and his family will relocate to the tri-state area.

Deep is an excellent colleague and I’m thrilled all of us will get to work with him even more closely going forward. Please join me in both congratulating him and welcoming him to CNBC Digital.

Bagchee is taking over the role vacated by Scott Boyarsky when he was promoted to senior vice president of technology for CNBC in November.
