WSJ announces management change

The Wall Street Journal Europe has announced the resignation of its publisher, Andrew Langhoff.

A search will begin for a successor. In the interim Kelly Leach, senior vice president and head of strategy for Dow Jones, will oversee EMEA operations.

“Andrew has played a number of important roles at Dow Jones since 2003 and has been instrumental in successfully growing our businesses in Europe over the past several years. He has built a strong team and leaves the Journal franchise with strong momentum in Europe, with more initiatives in the pipeline. We thank him for his many important contributions to the company,” said Todd Larsen, president of Dow Jones & Company.

As publisher of The Wall Street Journal Europe and managing director for EMEA, Mr. Langhoff had been responsible for Dow Jones’ consumer and enterprise businesses in the region since January 2009. Prior to his European role, he served with distinction as the CEO of Ottaway Newspapers, which since has been renamed the Dow Jones Local Media Group. Mr. Langhoff joined Dow Jones in 2003 as general counsel for Ottaway and later led that unit’s digital development operations.
