Business Insider Australia has hired News Corp and Fairfax restaurant critic Simon Thomsen to edit its newly-launched Executive Life vertical locally.
Thomsen, who was co-editor of six editions of Fairfax’s Good Food Guide before moving to a two-year stint as restaurant critic for News Limited, will launch the new vertical aimed at expanding the remit of the local site, and its appeal to advertisers and readers.
Editor Paul Colgan told Mumbrella the move was part of a deeper push to create more localised content and expand the site to cover more issues of wider interest to its readers.
