Stuart Millar joined BuzzFeed UK as Head of News in September 2015.
Since then he has overseen the expansion of the news team, and led BuzzFeed’s coverage of major live events such as the Brexit referendum, the general election, three terror attacks and the Grenfell Tower fire. He has also managed a series of important investigations, from tennis corruption to allegations of worker exploitation at retail giant Asos.
Before joining BuzzFeed, Millar spent 19 years at the Guardian, first as a reporter and then in various senior news editing roles, including Special Projects Editor and, latterly, Head of News. As deputy editor of Guardian US in 2013, he played a key role in the Pulitzer-winning coverage of the NSA surveillance revelations from Edward Snowden.
