For nearly two years, Marija and I have been looking for an exceptional Executive Editor to work with us. We never rush important hiring and we knew there were only a few people fit for the job. Today, we have news to share and give you a sense of where we’re taking Exponential View next.

We took our time with this hire. Exponential View is a research studio, not a newsroom – and the distinction matters for who can lead its editorial operation, a job previously split between Marija and myself.

You turn to us for insight that is tough to produce: synthesis, frameworks and the non-obvious thinking that changes how you see the world. Finding an editor who understood that difference was the whole search.

What drew us to Greg wasn’t any…
