Business Insider has named Jamie Heller as its next editor-in-chief following Nicholas Carlson’s shift in focus towards longer projects.

Heller has worked at the Wall Street Journal for more than 20 years and currently leads its global business and tech coverage as business editor.

Heller said: “Every day I’ve worked at The Wall Street Journal has been an honour. I am in awe of the journalism it does, and am forever grateful to all of my colleagues over the years and around the world.
