Endeavor Business Media has hired Geert De Lombaerde as the new editor at large.

De Lombaerde will cover public companies of interest to the audiences of Endeavor’s publications, including IndustryWeek, T&D World, Fleet Owner, Oil & Gas Journal, and HealthCare Innovation.

He began his reporting career at the Business Courier in Cincinnati and later was managing editor and editor of the Nashville Business Journal. Most recently, he oversaw the online and print products of the Nashville Post and reported primarily on Middle Tennessee’s finance sector as well as many of its publicly traded companies.

“I had the privilege of working with Geert for nearly a decade when he was editor of the Nashville Post and know him to be an excellent business journalist,” said Endeavor Business CEO Chris Ferrell in a statement. “We created this role at Endeavor with Geert in mind.”

Endeavor Business Media was formed in late 2017 to acquire and operate trade publications, websites, events, and marketing operations.
