Mehta leaves Bloomberg for Vanity Fair

Stephanie Mehta, hired slightly more than a year ago to oversee Bloomberg’s conference business, has left for Vanity Fair.

She is now a deputy editor at Vanity Fair.

Mehta had been hired to revamp the editorial direction of Bloomberg’s live events business and serve as an editor-at-large for Bloomberg Businessweek. Formerly the deputy editor of Fortune, Mehta served as editorial co-chair of some of the title’s most lucrative conferences, including its Most Powerful Women Summit and its recent Global Forum in China.

Before Fortune, Mehta worked at The Wall Street Journal, where she was an assistant news editor, reporting and editing technology stories. She wrote extensively about telecommunications at the Journal, focusing on wireless and local phone companies. She joined the Journal in 1994 as a staff reporter for the paper’s enterprise group and was promoted to deputy bureau chief of that group in 1996.

Prior to joining the Journal, she worked as a business reporter for the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va. Mehta received a B.A. in English and an M.S. in journalism from Northwestern University.
