Tech news site CNET has hired veteran technology journalist Connie Guglielmo as editor-in-chief of CNET News.
Connie will direct all operational and editorial aspects of CNET’s global news team – from breaking news to thoughtful analysis and insightful features. She will work alongside Lindsey Turrentine, editor-in-chief of CNET Reviews.
“Connie is a stellar reporter and editor with two decades of experience breaking some of the biggest stories in the industry and simultaneously leading high-performing editorial teams,” said Mark Larkin, senior vice president and general manager of CBS Interactive’s technology group, in a statement. “It is this unique blend of exceptional reportorial and leadership skills that makes Connie the perfect choice to head CNET News. Together, Connie and Lindsey will continue to deliver what our audience expects: the best news and reviews, unmatched by any outlet in the industry.”
Guglielmo joins CNET from Forbes, where for the last two years she has written cover stories, interviewed notable CEOs and helped direct the team’s technology coverage nationwide.
She also spent seven years as a financial reporter and enterprise editor for Bloomberg, where her stories and her team’s coverage of the most-important publicly traded companies moved markets.
Additionally, Guglielmo served as the Silicon Valley Bureau Chief for Interactive Week – a position she presided over during the dotcom bust. She has also served as a news editor for MacWeek, and as vice president of corporate communications for HP.
