The Los Angeles Times

Deputy Managing Editor & Creative Director

As Deputy Managing Editor and Creative Director at the Los Angeles Times, I oversee 60-plus editors, reporters and art directors across Lifestyle, Food, Entertainment and West Coast Experiences. I shape strategy, modernize teams and keep us focused on what audiences actually care about. Over the past six years, I've helped turn underperforming departments into some of the most impactful in the newsroom — building new brands, launching new formats and transforming how the paper looks and feels.
