Tanaka has been social media manager and tech news editor for Cisco’s news site The Network for the past year.
Mike Sitrick, CEO of the 22-year-old firm, said Tanaka’s business journalism experience covering tech giants like Google, Yahoo! and Oracle, as well as her later social and digital media work will be a “great benefit” to clients. She will be based in San Francisco for Sitrick, which is based in Los Angeles with outposts in Denver and New York.
Tanaka was previously deputy editor and later tech editor for Forbes in San Francisco after stints at Red Herring and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Among its current assignments, Sitrick is working the high-profile bankruptcy reorganization of Hostess Brands.
