Following the relocation of Jen Ryall to New York to take on the role of real-time editor at Mashable, the Australian arm has announced Jerico Mandybur as its new local editor, effective immediately.
Most recently the managing digital producer for NITV at SBS, Mandybur has extensive experience in the Australian media landscape – having previously been the editorial lead for ASOS in Australia, the online editor and contributing print editor for Oyster Magazine, and editor at MTV Australia.
“We are thrilled to have Jerico joining us as Australia editor. Jerico has an amazing wealth of experience growing digital brands in Australia and we’re excited to watch her take Mashable to the next level in the region," says Mashable chief content officer Gregory Gittrich.
“Her experience leading editorial operations in the digital culture space along with her understanding of internet trends and social issues are a perfect fit for our audience. It’s an exciting time for Mashable Australia.”
