Time magazine's Bobby Ghosh is joining Atlantic Media's Quartz site as managing editor, editor-in-chief Kevin Delaney announced to staff on Tuesday. Ghosh spent the past year as international editor of Time, overseeing all of its editions and correspondents outside the U.S.

He has lived and reported from all over the world, including five years as Time's Baghdad bureau chief. "Bobby's mandate is to engage deeply with Quartz's journalism and increase the breadth, creativity, and impact of our coverage, guiding our reporters to their greatest work,' Delaney wrote in a memo to staff.

"His arrival comes as we're expanding the editorial team to produce even more high-quality journalism that finds a broad readership online. And it will allow us to further our ambitions outside the US, as marked by this week's launch of Quartz India.'

"Bobby brings a sophisticated curiosity about the world, an obsessive news focus, and a strong identification with Quartz's mission to cover the new global economy's most important and interesting facets,' Delaney wrote.
