    Earlier in her career, Allen worked at Intermedia for more than a decade in various sales and management roles, overseeing advertising revenues, client partnerships, integrated campaigns, and media solutions across television, print, digital, events, and mobile platforms throughout Europe and the Middle East.

    Academically, Allen holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Modern and Medieval Languages (French & German) from the University of Oxford, where she studied from 2000 to 2004.

    Her appointment reflects CNBC’s strategic focus on strengthening partnerships, advertising operations, and audience engagement in one of the world’s fastest-growing business regions.

      Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
