A new deputy editor for companies

We are pleased to announce that Mohammed Hadi has become Deputy Business Editor.

We don’t need to specify Mo’s many contributions to the company report because they are so obvious – but will do it anyway. As our news director, Mo has been monitoring our collective news and helping us determine what to cover. Mo has become our invaluable liaison to The Times home page and has collaborated with our audiences and web search teams. We can thank Mo for making sure business stories get the readership they deserve.

Mo, of course, has contributed immensely to the success of New York Times Business and has edited countless stories.

“Mo is great,” said David Enrich, editor for Business. “He works very hard, is super smart and everyone loves him.”

Mo’s new responsibilities will include some of his current role, plus working with our new Culture and Careers group, and all of us in Business in Recruitment and Career Development. He will continue to be deeply involved in stories and will focus our efforts to ensure that our coverage appeals to all of our readers – and our future readers.

I know Mo will help us embrace all kinds of change — inside and outside the newspaper — as we emerge from the pandemic and the needs of our readers evolve.

Mo joined The New York Times from Business Insider nearly four years ago, where he was an executive editor. Before that, he was an editor at Bloomberg News and helped oversee deal coverage. He joined Bloomberg from The Wall Street Journal, where he was an editor and writer. During his career, Mo has worked in Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore and New York.

Mo is a graduate of the University of Richmond and holds a master’s degree from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs.
