It is perhaps the worst kept secret at CNN but I’m pleased to officially announce that Alex Nelson begins a new role as Director, CNNMoney Global Strategy in May.
Alex has been a bedrock of CNN’s financial coverage – first with CNNfn and subsequently CNNMoney — for 14 years.
He deftly managed our transition to a unified video team, and has been a trusted aide-de-camp to and with Jason Farkas.
Alex does it all: managing our day-to-day video, building the War Room, the set which is now in use for CNN writ-large, and turning our conference table into a fully-fuctional 6-switched live control room.
He will take those skills to London, working closely with Mark Thompson and Linnie Rawlinson, to focus on five key priorities:
incremental CNNMoney global revenue
successful cooperation between CNNi Style and the CNNMoney Luxury vertical
assist the development and potential launch of CNNMoney Mandarin
building the CNN War Room London
CNNMoney + CNNi TV integration
The timeline is tight: Alex and his wife hop over the Atlantic at a precise date TBD before the first week in May.
