I’m pleased to announce that Steve Gandel will join Fortune.com on Monday to cover Wall Street for the Term Sheet section of the site.

Like Colin Barr before him, Steve will be headquartered in the CNN Money newsroom but we’ll still see him regularly here on the 18th floor. I’ll plan to introduce him at a morning meeting next week so you can join me in welcoming him.
