Cathy Sharick Biography

Cathy Sharick is the managing editor of TIME.com. Her role in TIME.com’s expansion and evolution cannot be overstated. She has been directly involved in nearly every facet of the website, including edit, design, multimedia, product development, business development, strategy, personnel, budgeting, technology and infrastructure. She has overseen editorial and production and transformed the video department into the site leader it is today.

She has managed breaking news coverage—from the 2002 capture of Saddam Hussein to the recent collapse of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime. Over the years, she’s played a crucial role in unifying print and digital, making it possible for reporters to write for all platforms. She worked on four redesigns—including the current one—as well as the launch of the site’s Healthland, Moneyland, Swampland, Lightbox, entertainment and tech sites. She has enabled TIME.com to catapult to close to 2 billion page views last year.

Not only has TIME.com emerged as a fully realized, parallel and complimentary product to the print magazine, but its growth has extended well beyond the website. TIME.com now boasts more than 3 million Twitter followers (the third biggest news brand on Twitter), the centerpiece of a successful social media strategy that includes a hugely popular Facebook page and Tumblr. Rounding out the TIME digital portfolio are three stand-alone iPad apps, multiple versions of the TIME iPhone app, as well as the Samsung TV app, all of which Sharick helped launch. It is a four-screen digital platform that’s earning rave reviews: In 2011, New York University’s School of Business think tank L2 named TIME a “digital genius,” citing its strong presence across multiple platforms in the social media and mobile space. Sharick will now use that project expertise to perfect the long-term vision and the daily operations of the site—as well as to further expand TIME’s digital presence on desktops, mobile devices and tablets. 
 Sharick graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., and earned her master’s degree in journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. She lives in Maplewood, N.J., with her husband and two children.
