The always up-to-speed Fast Company has a new executive editor starting today. Rick Tetzeli, formerly of Entertainment Weekly and (wait for it) Fortune is joining the team at Fast Co.

Over the past year, Rick has been running Assignment Detroit, an ambitious journalistic effort that utilizes the joint resources of Time, Sports Illustrated, Fortune, CNNMoney.com and other Time Inc. properties. “I loved the project,” Rick says, “but what’s happening at Fast Company is so exciting, I couldn’t resist. The magazine has amazing momentum, and the website is on fire.”

As veterans of the ’08 slaughter fest – we never get tired of posting about people having/keeping/getting jobs. Woohoo!
