Hi. I’m Lisa Ryan. I’m an experienced editor, content strategist, and newsroom leader.
I’m an Executive Editor at Business Insider, leading our audience strategy — from our owned and operated platforms (homepage, app, newsletter) to social platforms and partnerships. My goal is to bring in new BI readers, make our work part of their daily routines, and keep them coming back for more.
Before this, I was BI’s head of newsletters, the editor of Katie Couric’s daily newsletter, and a senior writer at New York Magazine’s The Cut. I also co-hosted the podcast Royally Obsessed (one of Town & Country’s best of 2019) for Gary Vaynerchuk’s media company.
Previously, I was a reporter at Law360, Daily Mail, and BI, and worked on events for The Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory, Library Journal Magazine, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
I was awarded two U.N. Foundation Press Fellowships, traveling to Uganda in 2016 and Rwanda in 2018 to report on women’s health.
I live in Brooklyn, New York, with my husband.
