Both veterans of the brand, Gould and Supitskiy have made significant impacts on Forbes' digital side, said CEO Mike Federle, including improving the company’s platforms, driving engaged audiences and growing marketing partnerships that have expanded Forbes’ digital representation. The promotions come as chief digital officer, Salah Zalatimo, leaves the company to become CEO of a unit of blockchain software provider Block.one, Federle said.
