Coloradobiz appoints Haubert as publisher

Coloradobiz, a statewide print publication covering the Colorado economy, business, finance and tech industries, has named Jon Haubert as its publisher.

In his new role, Haubert will be responsible for managing the publication’s business operations and ensuring the magazine is an editorial and commercial success.

He replaces Sylvia Harmon, who served as publisher for the last 12 years.

Haubert is the founder and managing partner of H.B. Legacy Media, a successful strategic communications firm designed to tackle complex and difficult-to-message topics.

He has more than 15 years of government and public affairs experience, and specializes in media relations management, custom media projects and promotion of client interests.

Dan Wiesner, owner of Coloradobiz parent company WiesnerMedia, said:

“Our readers are affluent, influential and active in their communities, and I’m proud of the product we have continued to deliver for nearly 50 years.

“ColoradoBiz has proven to be a vital resource to the business community in good times and in bad, and those driving the economic success of our state rely on us. Jon will be a tremendous asset and fit in perfectly with our talented team.

“In our continued commitment to deliver stories showcasing top companies, business leaders, entrepreneurs and young professionals making their mark, Coloradobiz will be well-served with Jon as our new publisher. He’s proven that he holds that right mix of thought-provoking story ideas, businesses and people to profile, and the advertising support needed to maintain business operations that any successful magazine needs not only to survive, but to thrive.”

Haubert is a graduate of UC Santa Barbara.
