Some exciting personal news: After four amazing years as Editor in Chief of @WIRED – and 15 amazing years at @CondeNast – I’ll be joining @TheAtlantic as CEO. (1/7)
I’ve read and been inspired by The Atlantic my whole life – especially through the brilliant run they’ve had recently. This is an extraordinary opportunity to work to build, and expand, the business of one of the most important publications in America. (2/7)
And thank you to my colleagues at Wired who have done such inspiring work helping crack open the biggest tech stories of our time and building new business models while we’ve done it. Nothing beats working with brilliant people who know more than you do. (3/7)
My favorite moments, every day, are when I read what you write and edit, and when I marvel at the design and photography. I’ll be here two more months, and I love you all. (4/7)
And a shout-out to our curious, creative, and appropriately cantankerous Wired readers. I hope, as a last act, one of you will help me solve the crazy mystery in my last story. https://www.wired.com/story/nameless-hiker-mostly-harmless-internet-mystery/ (5/7)
As I take on this new adventure at The Atlantic, I’ll stay based in NYC, which is good for me, even if the news disappointed my mother, who wishes it was still in Boston. (6/7)
I can’t wait to work alongside The Atlantic’s brilliant Editor in Chief, @JeffreyGoldberg, and the rest of the team. Task one, once I start in Feb, is going to be working to get more people to subscribe. You can do so here! https://accounts.theatlantic.com/products/?source=nav (7/7)
