Business Insider Appoints Jamie Heller as New Editor in Chief
Business Insider is set to announce the appointment of Jamie Heller, the current business editor at The Wall Street Journal, as its next editor in chief. This decision comes from insights shared by two sources familiar with the situation.
With a remarkable two-decade career at The Wall Street Journal, Ms. Heller has been at the helm of some of the publication’s most significant coverage areas. Initially trained as an Ivy League-educated lawyer, she made a pivotal shift into journalism, where she has thrived. In her recent role as business editor, she has overseen a wide array of topics, including technology, media, energy, and large consumer companies, ensuring a comprehensive approach to global news coverage.
Previously, Ms. Heller served as the deals editor, where she managed the intricate coverage of mergers and acquisitions, and also held the position of deputy editor in the finance section. Her extensive experience in these critical areas of business journalism positions her well to lead Business Insider’s newsroom.
Business Insider, a prominent news platform under the ownership of German media giant Axel Springer, has been in search of a new editor in chief since Nicholas Carlson stepped down from the role earlier this year. As of now, Ms. Heller has not provided any comments regarding her anticipated new position.
