Past editor Nicholas Thompson is leaving to become the chief executive officer of The Atlantic.
Patel was a co-founder of The Verge and the site’s first managing editor before taking over as editor-in-chief. He also was the acting managing editor for the launch of Vox.com. Before that, he spent four years as managing editor of Engadget, where he drew upon his background as a lawyer to report and explain complex legal situations in everyday terminology — a niche that led to SAY Media naming Nilay one of 10 “voices that matter” in technology journalism.
Patel co-hosts the Webby Award-winning “Vergecast” podcast, and has appeared on CNN, CNN International, NPR, Fox News, MSNBC, Sky News, NHK, G4TV, TWiT, and many others.
