A new role for Leissa Jackmauh and welcome to Sarah Chatta

I have a few staff announcements this morning.

Leissa Jackmauh rejoined The Times as Kathleen Kingsbury's assistant this year. She did a fantastic job of stepping right into the role, swiftly learning the ins and outs of the department. Leissa raised her hand to help with contracts, and she quickly learned the intricacies of our publishing schedule, contract language and payment processes. I am happy to report that she will take on the job full time, starting Monday. Congratulations, Leissa.
