Career

After college, Tyrangiel worked at ''Vibe'' and ''Rolling Stone'' magazines and produced the news at MTV.

In 1999, he joined ''TIME'' as a staff writer and music critic. He also served as the magazine's London correspondent and national editor. In 2006, Tyrangiel was promoted to deputy managing editor at TIME.com, as well as tasked with overseeing TIME's Person of the Year franchise.

In journalistic circles, Tyrangiel was presumed to be the successor to Richard Stengel, who was editor of the magazine at that time. Tyrangiel says he wanted the job, but recognized there was competition for the position and that the company may be resistant to his hopes of taking it in a new direction. Norman Pearlstine, who had been the Editor in Chief at Time Inc and was then working as the Chief Content Officer at Bloomberg L.P., invited him to breakfast, and suggested he go to struggling ''Businessweek'' following its acquisition by Bloomberg L.P. for one "dollar plus debt." Tyrangiel presented his ideas for the company to Bloomberg and, in November 2009, Tyrangiel was named editor of the magazine. In April 2010, Tyrangiel oversaw the rebranding of ''BusinessWeek'' into ''Bloomberg Businessweek'' and led the editorial vision of the magazine.Dumenco, Simon (October 15, 2012)

In 2011, ''Adweek'' named ''Bloomberg Businessweek'' the most influential business magazine of the year.
