Anchin most recently was senior VP of global communications and content at Monster Worldwide, pioneer in the online job-posting industry, where he handled corporate communications, business and consumer media relations and social media.

CR is making a push to keep the consumer on top of the security and privacy of digitally-connected products as well as emerging issues in financial services and health care.

Anchin’s role will be to reaffirm CR’s historic place as the valued authority people can trust for independent purchase decision knowledge and pro-consumer advocacy.

“We are delighted to welcome Matt to Consumer Reports. His energy, ideas, digital acumen, deep management expertise, and passion for our mission makes it clear that he is the right choice at the right time for CR,” said Marta L. Tellado, president and CEO of Consumer Reports.
