Andrew Serwer
Managing Editor
Fortune
Andy Serwer was named managing editor of Fortune in October 2006, responsible for overseeing and directing the multi-media proposition, including not only the bi-weekly magazine but its brand representations on the Internet, on television, and radio. Founded in 1930, Fortune is a global leader in business journalism, known for its unrivalled access to industry leaders and has a worldwide circulation of over one million and a readership in excess of five million.
Due to his success as business anchor of CNN's American Morning news show, Serwer continues to be a regular contributor on a variety of programs produced by CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, and other broadcast outlets, including: AC 360, Squawk Box, Morning Joe, Today, and the Early Show. Serwer also does a weekly video which appears on CNNMoney.com, Fortune's online home, as part of his "Street Life" series, a market round-up.
Serwer joined Fortune in 1985 as an intern from the Columbia Journalism School, and was later promoted to associate editor. He quickly went on to become one of its most insightful, popular and productive writers. In addition to covering Wall Street, investing, information technology, and entertainment for the magazine, Serwer has also edited and written the front of the book section of Fortune, which includes breaking news and features focusing on business personalities, media, and technology.
Serwer was named 2000 Business Journalist of the Year by TJFR Business News Reporter, which called him "perhaps the nation's top multimedia talent, successfully juggling the roles of serious journalist, astute commentator and occasional court jester. He's a prototype and inspires others in business journalism to test their skills in other media." Marketing Computers also ranked him sixth on its "Top Ten Web" list of Internet journalists.
Mr. Serwer received a bachelor's degree in history from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, graduating with departmental honors in 1981. He received an MBA from Emory University in Atlanta and a master's in journalism from Columbia University.
