The job description clearly said one requirement would be putting up with me. Thank goodness that didn’t deter Danielle Abril, who joined D CEO magazine today as our new managing editor. Previously an ace technology reporter at the weekly Dallas Business Journal, Danielle spearheaded the launch of that publication’s TechFlash newsletter and, before that, covered the retail scene for the DBJ.
She’s also worked for the Dallas Morning News as an interim city reporter in Plano and as editor of DMN‘s neighborsgo publication in Allen/Frisco/McKinney. A native of El Paso and an SMU grad with not one, but two, B.A.s (in journalism and Spanish), Danielle’s said to be a world-class salsa dancer who’s willing to give people here lessons. Her first victim, we’ve all agreed, will be Wick Allison (who promptly asked what the stuff he eats with his chips has to do with dancing).
