CNBC has hired Benjamin Snyder as leadership editor for its Make It website, which focuses on all things money and success for the next generation of leaders, zeroing in on the core topics of entrepreneurs, leadership, careers and money.

In my role, I’ll pay special attention to stories on diversity in the workplace as well as sports business, subjects I’m passionate about covering,” said Snyder in a post on LinkedIn.
