In his new job, Narisetti will have oversight of WSJ.com, SmartMoney.com, MarketWatch and the foreign-language editions of WSJ.com, the leading US financial daily announced.
Currently the managing editor for The Washington Post, Narisetti oversaw digital content at Washington Post Co.’s flagship publication.

Narisetti joined the Post in January 2009. Before that, he served as founding editor of India’s Mint newspaper, which has an exclusive agreement to publish Journal-branded content in India.
