Minnesota biz magazine names new editor

Steve Mollman, who has worked at The Wall Street Journal and Wired magazine, has been hired as editor of Minnesota Business magazine.

He’s reported on business, technology and other topics for the likes of Time, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and many other print and online publications, traveling the world along the way with stints in San Francisco, Tokyo, New York and Hong Kong.

“Excited to get started is the only way to describe my enthusiasm for this opportunity,” Mollman said in a statement. “To lead a publication with such rich history in a state with such a diverse business culture is sure to be a challenge and an honor.”

Tiger Oak Media, publisher of more than 20 magazines in a dozen markets, has seen some great growth in Minnesota Business since acquiring the publication almost four years ago from previous publisher Metropolitan Media/Great Water Media Group.

Minnesota Business magazine launched in 1994, focusing on Minnesota-based entrepreneurial endeavors and business networking.
