Hartford Business Journal names new editor, ME and news editor

The Hartford Business Journal has named Greg Bordonaro, Brad Kane and Greg Seay will take over as editor, managing editor and news editor, respectively, on July 1.

Bordonaro replaces Norm Bell, who is moving to Las Vegas in late June.

Bordonaro joined the Hartford Business Journal in 2008, serving as a reporter covering health care, banking and finance, and real estate. In August, Bordonaro, who previously wrote for the Hartford Courant, will receive his MBA from the University of Hartford.

Kane, who will step into the role of managing editor, joined Hartford Business Journal in 2010, serving as a reporter covering energy, manufacturing, and construction. He also serves as the editor of Connecticut Green Guide, a quarterly statewide publication focusing on sustainable business.

Seay, who will move into the news editor chair, joined Hartford Business Journal in 2008, serving as web editor, overseeing HartfordBusiness.com. Previously, he served as a business reporter and editor for the Hartford Courant from 1992 to 2007.

“We decided to back the home team,” said Hartford Business Journal publisher Gail Lebert in a statement. “We had some fantastic outside candidates with great experience at prestigious media organizations, but we decided the very best opportunity for the Hartford Business Journal was the talented, experienced individuals we already had.”
