Shelly Elmore, the publisher of Twin Cities Business, writes about the publication’s future as editor in chief Allison Kaplan departs.
Elmore writes, “It wasn’t just a photo opportunity; it was a testament to the trust and respect TCB has earned over the years. That moment underscored our core belief: Business is the engine of our community—a force for good that deserves to be championed.
“That trust is something we don’t take lightly. It’s particularly on my mind as we mark a meaningful transition. After many years of exceptional leadership, our editor-in-chief, Allison Kaplan, has moved on to her next chapter. We thank her for her remarkable contributions and wish her all the best. As we begin the search for our next editorial leader, I can assure you we won’t be using AI to lead the effort. (Let’s be honest, even the sturdiest chatbots couldn’t handle a Minnesota winter.)
“While the face at the helm of our editorial team will change, our values and the value we bring to you will not. From day one in 1993, when founding publisher Burt Cohen, longtime MSP Communications president Gary Johnson, and founding editor Jay Novak launched this magazine, Twin Cities Business has stood for the idea that business is the foundation of our prosperity and the economic health of our region. Now, into our fourth decade, that conviction remains our North Star.”
