Khaleej Times has appointed Ted Kemp as its new Chief Content Officer.
In his new role, Kemp will lead the newsroom of the Dubai-based English-language newspaper and spearhead innovation across editorial functions.
"It’s the professional opportunity of a lifetime to join Khaleej Times, an organisation that has gained universal esteem over the years,” he said. “It's not just the brand’s rich heritage that excites me – it's the future.
“Khaleej Times stands as one of the most powerful and trusted news outlets in the most dynamic region on the planet. The editorial team holds in its hands the opportunity not only to reflect the UAE and the wider region, but to help define it. That’s what inspires me."
Kemp most recently served as Chief Editor at Moniify, and was previously Singapore-based Managing Editor at CNBC International, overseeing EMEA and APAC editorial operations.
Charles Yardley, Chief Executive Officer of Khaleej Times, said: “Ted’s leadership will be instrumental as we accelerate our digital transformation and expand our reach across the GCC and MENA regions. His passion for journalism and innovative thinking make him an ideal fit for Khaleej Times.”
