Albany Business Review names new publisher

Cindy Applebaum has been named market president and publisher of the Albany Business Review, writes Mike Hendricks.

Hendricks writes, “Applebaum comes to the Business Review from Time Warner Cable Media Sales, where she has been general manager of the company’s 11-county Capital Region.

“An Albany native, Applebaum joined Time Warner as a local sales manager in 2005 and was promoted to regional manager in 2010. Prior to joining Time Warner, she had successful stops in mortgage banking and wireless communications.

“Applebaum succeeds Carolyn Jones, who is now the publisher and market president of ACBJ’s Boston Business Journal.

“Mike Olivieri, executive vice president for ACBJ, said Applebaum is uniquely qualified to lead the Albany Business Review with experience in the media industry and familiarity with the local market.”
