Bloomberg has made another high-profile hire that will further shift the company's power base away from editor in chief Matt Winkler, bringing in in former NBC president Andrew Lack to head up its recently-formed multimedia group.

Together, we shall energize Bloomberg's 2,300 editorial employees." Is it just me, or can you actually hear the bow tie?
