Patrick Mullen has taken over as business editor for The Signal newspaper in California and Santa Clarita Valley Business Journal.

Jana Adkins of The Signal writes, “His appointment is effective immediately.

“Mullen has extensive experience working in both editorial and nonprofit positions.

“A recent transplant from Cleveland Heights, Ohio – a suburb of Cleveland much as Santa Clarita is to Los Angeles – Mullen has family connections in Santa Clarita in the business community.
