CNBC has announced the appointment of Mary Catherine (MC) Wellons as the network’s new Washington Bureau Chief and Editorial Director for politics.
Wellons takes on the position following the retirement of Matt Cuddy. Cuddy exited the organization last week after holding the role for nearly 30 years.
MC Wellons is no stranger to the CNBC team. She’s most recently served as the Deputy Bureau Chief in Washington, helping shape the network’s political and policy coverage and its day-to-day operations.
Prior to joining the Washington bureau, she was the first San Francisco Bureau Chief for CNBC. She helped launch that site in 2015 and built the network’s coverage of the tech space in the Bay Area.
She’s also worked at the Los Angeles bureau as a field producer. She also helped build the network’s first-ever social media team.
