The Messenger was a general news startup. As the inaugural editor for the health and wellness vertical, my job was to build a team fast, launch, and get traffic.

During the time the website was live, the health team was responsible for publishing exclusive enterprise and breaking news; and attracting millions of readers. In my role, I was responsible for day-to-day operations, plus working closely with sales to concept and respond to RFPs.
