FitSmallBusiness.com, boosted by growth, hires chief content officer

FitSmallBusiness.com, which covers news for small business owners, has hired former ABC News executive Eric Noe as is chief content officer, a new position.

FitSmallBusiness was founded four years ago by David Waring and Marc Prosser and now has a staff of 60 full-time employees.

“Marc and David have built FitSmallBusiness.com into an essential resource for small business owners seeking news and information to help launch and grow their businesses,” Noe said in a statement.

Noe was most recently the senior vice president of editorial content at Los Angeles-based Participant Media, where he managed all aspects of the company’s digital content business and served as editor in chief of the digital magazine Takepart.com.

Prior to that, he was managing editor at ABC News Digital, where he oversaw a major expansion in digital video production and managed the editorial operations of ABC News’ partnership with Yahoo News.

The ABC News-Yahoo! Partnership was Comscore’s No. 1 ranked news and information source during his tenure, and his teams were rewarded with a Peabody Award and an Edward R. Murrow Award.

Noe is a graduate of Emory University and holds a master’s degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
