I’m pleased to announce the promotion of Kevin Noblet to managing editor for our wealth management coverage.

Since joining Dow Jones Newswires in February 2009 as deputy managing editor for wealth management, Kevin has helped develop and direct our expanded adviser-focused coverage in text, graphics and video of news and trends in wealth management, overseeing a team of a dozen reporters.

As AP’s business editor, Kevin oversaw global coverage of business and financial news, and led a major expansion in investment-oriented coverage for a Web-based readership. As deputy international editor, he directed AP’s daily news coverage from 92 foreign bureaus, including articles that won two Pulitzer Prizes for reporters.

Outside the office, Kevin has been an officer on the board of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers for three years. He will become SABEW’s president at the organization’s annual conference in April.

Kevin is a graduate of Concordia College, and was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University and a visiting professor at Ohio University.
