Jamie Heller to Be Next Top Editor of Business Insider
Ms. Heller spent two decades at The Wall Street Journal, most recently leading corporate coverage.
Business Insider is expected to name Jamie Heller, the business editor of The Wall Street Journal, to lead its newsroom as its next editor in chief, according to two people familiar with the appointment.
Ms. Heller has led some of The Journal’s most important coverage over a two-decade career at the newspaper. Originally an Ivy League-educated lawyer, she soon switched to journalism. Most recently she was The Journal’s business editor, with oversight over the news organization’s global coverage of technology, media, energy and large consumer companies, among other areas.
Ms. Heller earlier served as The Journal’s deals editor, overseeing coverage of mergers and acquisitions, and deputy of its finance section.
Business Insider, a news site owned by German media conglomerate Axel Springer, has been looking for a new editor in chief since Nicholas Carlson left the position earlier this year.
Ms. Heller did not respond to requests for comment.

Climate change is now a driver of the world’s economy. The impact is profound:
- Catastrophic weather events — hurricanes, floods, droughts, high temperatures — are more frequent and more extreme. The cost can be measured in both the initial damage caused and the longer-term impact on the economy.
- Vulnerable communities are increasing climate-related investments, hardening infrastructure and taking other protective measures.
- Investment in carbon capture and storage technologies is increasingly rapidly.
- Governments are making investments and crafting regulations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
On top of all of this is the cost of uncertainty. As the Fourth National Climate Assessment, released in 2018 by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”
