Geekwire expands staff, adds editorial operations director

Cara Kuhlman

Todd Bishop and John Cook, the co-founders of tech news site Geekwire, write about the organization’s expansion, including the hiring of an internal events director, a membership director and editorial operations director.

Bishop and Cook write, “Cara Kuhlman, who was our longtime events, marketing and operations director, has shifted from the business side of the company to the GeekWire newsroom, in the new role of editorial operations director.

“This is a multifaceted job that includes overseeing databases and features such as the GeekWire 200, Startup List, Fundings List, and Tech Moves column; coordinating editorial content for events; and other special projects to help us better serve the tech community with news and information.

“An experienced sailor, Cara is our resident boat captain, literally and in spirit. She is already making an impact on our news operations in her new role, positioning our team to create meaningful and impactful journalism.

“These changes follow the earlier addition of Holly Grambihler as our sales and marketing leader, the hiring of Tiffany Grunzel as digital advertising specialist, and the promotion of Taylor Soper to managing editor, all key positions that strengthen our existing editorial and business teams.”
