Xana Antunes


Xana Antunes was a British business journalist who was also the executive editor of Quartz. Before joining Quartz, Antunes served as editor of Crain's New York Business and editor-in-chief of the New York Post. She was born Susana Maria Douglas Ramage and later changed her name to accommodate a nickname.
Antunes studied at Trinity & All Saints College in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Earlier in her career she had reporting stints at The Independent and The Evening Standard.
Antunes moved to New York from the United Kingdom in 1993 to work as a foreign correspondent. She joined the New York Post as a deputy business editor in 1995, working under David Yelland. She was appointed editor of the paper in October 1999, before stepping down and being replaced by Col Allan in April 2001. Her resignation was apparently under pressure from Rupert Murdoch.
She was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Newswomen's Club of New York.
She was married to Scott Schell and had one daughter, Elisabeth.
