The Wrap promotes Molloy to EE, Geier to ME

Entertainment industry website The Wrap has promoted Tim Molloy to executive editor and Thom Geier to managing editor of The Wrap.

They both had been deputy managing editors.

Founder and editor in chief Sharon Waxman writes, “In seven months of working together, Tim and Thom have built a partnership that has deeply impacted our newsroom for the better, bringing a balance of talents and skills to a hard-charging news staff that only continues to expand.

“Tim, a veteran of the Associated Press, TV Guide, Frontline and Boston.com, was with TheWrap for four and a half of our toughest early years, serving as our TV editor based on the east coast. He returned to the site in January as deputy managing editor and has now moved to Los Angeles to be at our headquarters.

“Thom, previously a senior editor at Entertainment Weekly after stints at The Hollywood Reporter and US News and World Report, joined the site in May 2015, and has taken to the nonstop pace of a digital site with a dedication that is inspiring.

“It is a true pleasure to watch them collaborate, set growth and coverage goals and achieve them while sharing the leadership of the newsroom in a way that has benefitted our readers and our staff.”
