Boston Business Journal names new publisher

Carolyn M. Jones has been named publisher and market president of the Boston Business Journal, effective Wednesday. Jones has been publisher of the Albany Business Review since 1998.

A story on the Boston Business Journal website states, “Jones replaces Gale Murray, who will be rejoining American City Business Journals’ national sales organization in a senior management role. ACBJ is the parent company of the BBJ and the Albany Business Review. Murray has been publisher of the Business Journal since June 2014, and will remain based in Boston.

“‘I want to personally thank Gale for leading the BBJ through a period of great change. Her accomplishments were many, in a short period of time,’ said Michael Olivieri, executive vice president at American City Business Journals and a former publisher of the Boston Business Journal. ‘We have asked Gale to return to our national sales operation in a management role where the pace of change is excelling and where Gale has had a significant impact in the past and will in the future.

“‘Over the past 17 years, Carolyn Jones has led the Albany Business Review to consistently be one of the best-performing business journals in ACBJ,’ Olivieri continued. ‘Carolyn’s thoughtful leadership approach will be a great addition to Boston’s business community. Carolyn is also passionate about the important role the Boston Business Journal plays in helping the region’s business executives and entrepreneurs grow their business, advance their career, and simplify their professional lives.'”
