Danielle Sacks

Business journalist Danielle Sacks has been promoted to editor in chief of Marker, the business magazine from Medium.

She joined the publication in July 2019 as executive editor. Marker launched eight months ago.

“My commitment to our growing readership is that we will always challenge you—with surprising ideas, with thoughtful analysis, with riveting narratives,” she wrote on Twitter. “As we shift from a booming economy to survival mode, our job is to be your clarity in the chaos.”

Sacks is an award-winning journalist who has spearheaded features coverage at Inc. as its executive editor and led some of its most prominent franchises, including the State of Women and Entrepreneurship editorial package.

Previously, Sacks was a senior writer at Fast Company magazine for more than a decade, where she profiled high-profile figures across advertising, food, design, e-commerce, retail, sustainability, tech, and innovation. Her work was included in the Best Business Writing 2014 anthology; in 2006, she was awarded the New York Press Club Nellie Bly Award.
