Becker named Nashville Biz Journal publisher

Lori Becker, the editor of the Nashville Business Journal, has been named publisher of the paper.

A story on its website states, “Becker had been editor-in-chief of the media company for nearly seven years. She joined the NBJ as managing editor in 2008, after more than a decade with daily newspapers.

“‘I couldn’t be more excited to take the helm right now. Nashville is a vibrant, fast-growing city with tremendous potential, and the NBJ is best positioned to help the city’s business community take advantage of this momentum,’ Becker said. ‘Our amazing team is focused on serving our audience through exclusive news, market intelligence and must-attend events. I’m incredibly proud to lead this group of talented, innovative professionals to even greater heights.’

“Becker succeeds Kate Herman Wood as publisher, who resigned from the role earlier this month to launch her own business consulting company.”
