Tech news site TechCrunch has named Matthew Panzarino as its co-editor and Leena Rao as its managing editor.
Panzarino replaces Eric Eldon.
Co-editor Alexia Tsotsis writes, “Our esteemed Senior Editor Leena Rao will become Managing Editor as part of these changes. The force behind ‘Ask A VC,”’ Rao has become a fixture in the Silicon Valley community since she moved back from Chicago to San Francisco. She will be instrumental in making sure TechCrunch stays true to its roots as it grapples with an increasingly competitive news cycle.
“Our Senior Editor Matthew Panzarino, will be joining me as TechCrunch co-editor, because not only is one the loneliest number, but because managing the most influential startup publication on the planet is really a two-person job.
“Panzarino is a photographer by trade, who got interested in technology when he began working in a local electronic store, in order to support his photo business. He got the blogging bug and decided to parlay his electronics knowledge into an aptly named iPhone site, The iPhone Guru, which had 150k unique visitors at its height. Thinking he could probably do this professionally, he then applied for a job at The Next Web where he became Managing Editor in no time flat.”
