Denver Business Journal names new publisher

Pete Casillas, advertising director of the San Francisco Business Times, has been named publisher of the Denver Business Journal.

Caitlin Hendee of the Denver Business Journal writes, “Casillas was introduced to the Denver staff Thursday by Mike Olivieri, chief revenue officer of DBJ parent company American City Business Journals, and former Denver Business Journal publisher Scott Bemis.

“‘It didn’t take me long to realize [Casillas] was someone we have to keep in the company,’ Olivieri said. ‘He understands acutely where business is going and where it needs to go.’

“Casillas takes over his new duties full time on May 19.

“‘I’m very excited to be back in Denver,’ Casillas told the DBJ staff. ‘I’m so very impressed with what I’ve seen so far.’

“Casillas served as advertising director at the Business Times since November 2013 having spent much of his career in Denver.”
