This January Anne was named a 2012 Society for New Communications Research (SNCR) Fellow.
“We’ve just added two key executives who bring a wealth of industry knowledge and professionalism to Digiday,” said Nick Friese, Digiday’s CEO. “Michelle’s experience running conferences at the 4As and Anne’s background developing the business side of technology publications, conferences and research add to the depth and expertise of our team. These are two top-tier executives who will make a big impact on our company culture and business.”
