'WSJ' to 'Forbes': Hymowitz Joins Great Migration

Forbes is fast becoming the destination of choice for Wall Street Journal veterans in need of a new home. Carol Hymowitz, the longtime Journal management columnist who departed last month in a wave of restructuring, has been named editorial director of the Forbes Life Executive Woman Group, where she'll be overseeing a new quarterly magazine and developing a website for professional women.

As I recently noted, Hymowitz's duties at the Journal included an unofficial role as the paper's point person on women's workplace issues. "This is definitely a niche I care a great deal about and think has big potential," she said via email. She'll report to CEO Steve Forbes.

Hymowitz's arrival at Forbes follows that of Tunku Varadarajan, a former editorial-page editor who's now in a similar capacity at Forbes.com. London bureau chief Anita Raghavan is also a recent Journal transplant, as is tech columnist Lee Gomes.
