New global enterprise team is named
In a memo to staff on Monday, Vice President for Global Enterprise Marjorie Miller announced AP’s new global enterprise reporting team:
Colleagues,
It is with immense pleasure that we are announcing the newest global enterprise editors and the launch of our global enterprise team, all dedicated to helping AP journalists around the world produce ambitious, multiformat journalism that breaks news and offers customers distinctive enterprise that they cannot get elsewhere.
These team members will work closely with colleagues across all regions and verticals, as well as with investigative reporters, data journalists and beat teams, to deliver a wide range of stories — accountability journalism, deeply told narratives, sophisticated analyses and visually arresting work for all platforms. Like AP staff everywhere, they will be expected to dive in on big breaking news events regularly, and to produce strong enterprise off the news, along with projects.
Please join us in congratulating these talented journalists, who will partner with many of you:
Jeannie Ohm is the enterprise video editor. For the last five years, Jeannie has served as a supervisor of video and online content on the Broadcast News Center, producing enterprise video on a wide range of topics. Before joining the AP, Jeannie worked as a White House and Pentagon correspondent for NBC News/MSNBC. She will remain in Washington and report to Chris Hulme, whose new title is visual enterprise editor.
Enric Marti is the enterprise photo editor. Enric began working for the AP in the Balkans in 1994 before moving to the Middle East as a photographer and editor for a decade. In 2006, he became regional photo editor for Latin America, and since 2016 has been the interim cross-format news director for Mexico and Central America. He will be based in New York and report to Chris Hulme.
Natalie Castaneda is joining Raghu Vadarevu’s enterprise digital storytelling team as a producer. For the last three years, Natalie has been managing editor for AP Images blog and Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts. Natalie curated AP promotional videos on photographer Jae Hong’s homeless story; the rape of Rohingya women by Myanmar security forces; and a journey through the Arctic’s Northwest Passage. Natalie will be based in New York.
In the field, the global enterprise team of award-winning journalists (including U.S. national writers) will report to Pauline Arrillaga, the U.S. enterprise editor, and to Mary Rajkumar, the international enterprise editor. They will partner with colleagues around the world on high-end reporting on our core coverage goals, as well as enterprise off of breaking news and unique stories they discover.
