The USA Today Network has appointed Jennifer Orsi as executive editor of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and Florida regional editor, overseeing 18 Gannett-owned daily newspapers in the state.
Currently, Orsi is the director of marketing content and communications at Carillon Tower Advisers, an asset management company.
Her new role begins Jul. 26.
Orsi is a veteran Tampa Bay Times journalist, having landed a reporting job at the newspaper right out of college.
