The news and internet services firm said it had created the three new roles as it looked to “further invest” in building its UK team.
Yahoo UK editor-in-chief Nicholas Petche said: “We’re thrilled to continue expanding Yahoo’s growing team in the UK with Richard, Nicola and Graham joining us.
“Yahoo is read by millions across the world for their daily intake of news, sport, entertainment and finance. We are committed to investing in video and quality journalism for our readers.”
All three hires will be based in the Yahoo UK office in London.
