Abby Wolfe of The Muse profiled Jenna Goudreau, who is managing editor of CNBC Make It, about her career.

“Surprisingly, top-notch editorial skills aren’t the first thing Goudreau looks for when hiring — it’s energy. As a leader, she explains, she can ‘guide, direct, and channel energy’ in her staff members, but she can’t create it.
“Goudreau took Make It by storm. Just two years after starting, she has a team of 30 and Make It has the highest readership on CNBC.com. And the cherry that tops it all off? She loves her job — it’s her favorite yet.
