Tampa Bay Business and Wealth Magazine appears to be sold to its publisher Jason Baker, reports Peter Schorsch of Florida Politics.
Schorsch reports, “Baker is the President and Publisher of TBBW, a title he assumed after the departure at the end of December of former President and Publisher Bridgette Bello. Baker, who was Bello’s friend and business partner, had served as Vice President of the organization prior to Bello’s departure.
“The business filed under Tampa Bay Business and Wealth is still listed as active, though a 2026 annual report has not yet been filed. Annual reports are due to the Division of Elections by May 1 before being assessed a late fee, meaning the previous owner may have not yet dissolved the business.
“Additionally, an email obtained by Florida Politics from the Human Resources Director at Babcox Media, Barbara Kimbrew, informs the sender, who asked not to be named for fear of retribution, that ‘as of 12/31/2025, we no longer own Tampa Bay Business & Wealth brand.’ It goes on to say that ‘Jason Baker is the principal at that office these days.'”
