Poets & Quants, the website covering business education run by business journalist John Byrne, has been sold to Times Higher Education in London for an undisclosed amount.
Byrne will remain as CEO and editor in chief for another three years.
“This is a match made in heaven,” said Byrne in a statement. “We’ll be joining a news and data-gathering organization that deeply understands the higher education market.”
Byrne — former executive editor at BusinessWeek and editor in chief at Fast Company — founded Poets & Quants in 2010, ultimately expanding the franchise to include five content websites as well as a conference business.
