Two executive editors named at Money

Diane Stark and Ellen Harris, both assistant managing editors at Money magazine, have both been promoted to executive editors at the personal finance glossy, according an announcement Monday.

In addition, Beth Fenner and Patrick Regnier were named assistant managing editors.

Stark and Harris replace Craig Matters, who is becoming executive editor at sister publication Fortune.

“These appointments reflect the successes these talented editors have shown at really engaging readers and helping them achieve a rich life,” said managing editor Eric Schurenberg. “With this new team in place we will continue to be the first place consumers turn for making their most important financial decisions.”

Harris had been assistant managing editor at Money since September 2004.  She first joined the editorial staff at Money from 1983-1992, when she was a writer and a senior editor specializing in investing and money management.  Her work included more than 25 cover stories; she subsequently won a National Magazine Award from the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) and a Page One Award from the Newspaper Guild.  After leaving Money in 1992, she continued her award-winning coverage of personal finance at Working Woman Magazine, Parenting magazine, Homeport Magazine, and AARP the Magazine.

Stark had been assistant managing editor of Money since 2001.  She joined Money as a reporter in 1990, and was subsequently promoted to writer in 1994, associate editor in 1998, and then to senior editor five months later. She has written and edited a wide range of stories about personal finance and investing.Â

Fenner returns to Money from the launch team of Women’s Health magazine where she had been executive editor from 2005 until last year.  Previously she was with Time Inc. for 17 years, where she was an editor at Money, Fortune and People and managed some of those magazines’ most important franchises, including Fortune’s Most Powerful Women in Business and People’s Most Eligible Bachelors.

Regnier had been senior editor at Money since 2002.  He joined Money as a reporter in 1997 and was subsequently promoted to senior writer.  He then moved to London to work as a senior writer for the European edition of Time magazine.  He has written and edited a number of memorable stories for Money, most recently the lead story ‘Postcards from the edge’ for the magazine’s June real estate special report. He may be best known to Money readers for his monthly back-page column, ‘The Bottom Line.’
