FinancialWeek, a weekly publication started last year by Crain Communications, has hired a Dow Jones & Co. executive to be its publisher, according to a release.

Nancy Adler will be joining FinancialWeek as publisher on April 30. Adler has been at Dow Jones for the past nine years in a variety of management positions.

Adler last served as senior managing director for sales and sales strategy for Dow Jones where her responsibilities included the reengineering of their international print and online offerings, overseeing the sales strategy for their global sales unit, leading the Americas selling effort for the international group and
directing the development of their marketing communications programs.
