[caption id="attachment_171661" align="alignright" width="150"] Emily Smith[/caption] Wild Sky Media has hired Emily Smith as its new CEO. Smith previously served as the company's SVP of content and marketing at Wild Sky Media, a role which Johanna Torres, formerly VP of content and editorial development, will step into.

Prior to its acquisition by RockYou and then Wild Sky, Torres was the founding editor-in-chief of MamásLatinas, which she helped launch in 2011. Here are the rest of this week's people on the move...
