Atlantic Media last month tapped The Economist media editor Gideon Lichfield as global news editor.
Gray heads brand, advertising, custom content and social/events marketing for Quartz, which resides at qz.com.
Justin Smith, president of Atlantic Media Co., called the HuffPost “one of last century’s most prominent traditional media brands.”
Gray led the HuffPost-AOL team that worked with AOL advertisers on its "Social Media 2.0” effort to publish SM and branded content across all HuffPost Media Group properties. He was global head of brand and customer knowledge at Thomson Reuters and ran global marketing and international sales at Time magazine, leading the Time Magazine Interactive Group.
AM said Quartz, based in New York with planned outposts in Europe and Asia, is currently hiring journalists, developers, designers, and advertising salespeople and plans to build a team of roughly 25 people in the next several months.
Quartz' new editor Lichfield was with The Econmist since 1996 serving in posts around the globe.
