Bowen will drive strategy, development and operations for market-leading products including WSJ.com, Barrons.com, MarketWatch.com, SmartMoney.com, AllThingsD.com and their mobile applications.

“We have a large, fast-growing, digital business with high expectations for continued growth. Alisa has the background and skill to expand the digital potential of our current brands and to continue to pioneer new products and platforms to help us achieve our goals,” said Todd Larsen, president of Dow Jones, in a statement.
