Peck named executive business editor at Huffington Post

Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post sent out the following staff promotion on Thursday:

As you know, after three and a half years at HuffPost, Peter Goodman is becoming the editor-in-chief of The International Business Times. I hope you’ll join me in thanking Peter for all the great work he did at HuffPost and wishing him all the best in his next adventure.

I am also delighted to announce Emily Peck‘s promotion to Executive Business Editor. In her new role, Emily will oversee reporting and editing on HuffPost Business and HuffPost Tech. Emily came to HuffPost two and a half years ago from the Wall Street Journal, and she and her team have been instrumental in growing the readership of Business and Tech.

We are off to a great start in 2014, from the launch of The WorldPost and two new international editions to great stories by an amazing group of reporters — with much more to come.

Please join me in congratulating Emily, and thank you for all the passion, dedication and creativity you bring to your work every day.
