Big changes coming for Fast Company

Big changes are coming for Fast Company with the departure of editor Bob Safian and the promotion of Eric Schurenberg to CEO of Mansueto Ventures, the parent of it and Inc. magazine, reports Keith Kelly of the New York Post.

Kelly writes,”Schurenberg held a town hall meeting last Thursday to let employees know what is happening — but he may need to call another one soon.

“‘Normally, they cut around the edges, but they seem to be cutting from the top this time,’ was the takeaway from one insider.

“In a memo to staffers released around the time of the town hall, Schurenberg revealed that Lori Hoffman, the director of editorial strategy at Fast Company, has resigned.

“Christina Langdon Cranley, the chief revenue officer of Fast Company, is as also out. In a bit of an embarrassment, Schurenberg flip-flopped her surname in announcing her departure in the memo.”
