Carolyn Guniss

Carolyn Guniss has been hired as the next editor-in-chief of Orlando Business Journal.

Managing editor Susan Lundine writes, “Guniss, a 30-year veteran in the journalism industry, currently is the senior content editor at the Orlando Sentinel, a position she has held for nearly three years.

“She will step into her new role at OBJ on Jan. 16, succeeding Sean McCrory, who departed after a year as editor-in-chief of Orlando Business Journal to take the same role with sister newspaper the Houston Business Journal. His last day at OBJ was Jan. 5.

“‘I am excited to start the next decade with the Orlando Business Journal, which has been the pulse and source of the area’s business news,’ said Guniss. ‘The OBJ is the must-read publication if you want to stay connected. Stay tuned for all the upcoming excitement.’

“With Guniss’ recent appointment, she returns to her roots as a business journalist, having started her career writing about commercial real estate.”
