Reuters makes executive changes as part of digital push

Thomson Reuters announced two changes to its management team as part of the transformation of Reuters into providing more content digitally.

Alisa Bowen has been appointed global head of business operations, charged with accelerating the transformation of the news agency business. For the past three years, Bowen has worked on growing and overhauling the consumer media business — redesigning Reuters.com and its global suite of websites, while developing the News Pro mobile and iPad applications.

Keith McAllister has been appointed to the expanded role of editor and publisher for consumer media, where he will oversee the editorial and commercial sides of Reuters.com and its global suite of websites, mobile and the digital signage businesses. McAllister joined Thomson Reuters in April 2009 as global editor for online.

McAllister was previously an executive vice president and managing editor at CNN.
