Colleagues and friends,As many of you have already heard, Friday will be my last day at CNBC.
It’s been an amazing run and I am extremely proud of the work we have done these past four years to build CNBC Digital into what it is today. How lucky we were to be entrepreneurial every day inside a big, established media brand.I am grateful to Mark, Kevin, Nik, Xana, Allen and Jeff for welcoming me here in the spring of 2013 to run the politics, economy and real estate coverage. Special thanks to my colleagues, both in digital and TV, for all their smart, original work, and especially to Team T-Lo here in Englewood Cliffs and D.C.I’m going to miss you guys, but it’s time for the next big opportunity.
Lowry was hired in April 2013 to build an enterprise news desk. He previously was business editor of The Daily, senior editor at Variety and media editor at BusinessWeek. He also worked at USA Today and the New York Daily News.
