Tierney-Heggenstaller joins ownership group at The Chronicle

Erin Tierney-Heggenstaller, who first joined The Chronicle as a reporter, has joined the ownership team, publisher Noel Nash announced.

“We’re delighted that Erin has become a part of our ownership, and it speaks to the impact she’s made on our multi-platform news-and-information business,” said Nash, who purchased the newspaper in February 2019 with his wife, Denise.

Tierney-Heggenstaller joined the paper under different ownership in 2016 as a reporter before being named executive editor. Tierney-Heggenstaller has since been responsible for numerous innovations and improvements while helping create and implement the paper’s editorial vision. 

“I can’t properly express the depth of my gratitude to the Nashes for bringing me into the ownership circle,” she said. “It’s been my privilege to help serve readers in our communities with credible, trustworthy journalism, spotlighting people and places largely ignored by other media.”
