Forbes Media has announced Randall Lane as its chief content officer. In this new role, Lane is responsible for editorial content across all platforms. Specifically, Lane will focus on integrating editorial content across digital and print, developing more editorial franchises and working with contributors and the Forbes editorial team to develop more multiplatform reporting. He will continue to serve as the editor of Forbes magazine.

Since rejoining Forbes in 2011, Lane has helped the magazine and Forbes.com reach peak levels of readership, developed some of Forbes’ most successful franchises including Forbes’ 30 Under 30 and has delivered exclusive and deep-dive reporting on some of the world’s greatest business minds.

“Randall is a unique and talented leader at Forbes. A true innovator, he’s the creator of many of Forbes’ popular editorial franchises including Forbes’ 30 Under 30, the Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy and The Just 100,” says Mike Federle, CEO of Forbes Media. “Randall is the perfect fit for this position as we continue to expand globally, build new editorial initiatives, reach new audiences and evolve to adjust to changing consumer behaviours.”

Lane says, “Forbes is one of the greatest, most resonant brands in media in large part because it has always put journalism and content at the centre. I’m both excited and honoured to take on the role of Chief Content Officer, and continue Forbes’ push into platforms and markets around the world.”

Lane sits on the boards of directors of Global Citizen and Just Capital, chairs the advisory board of Last Mile Health, and also serves on the Board of Overseers of Columbia’s School of Professional Studies, as well as three boards affiliated with his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania.
