Geert De Lombaerde, the editor of the Nashville Business Journal for the past three years, is stepping down from the position at the American City Business Journal paper, according to a brief on the Nashville Post web site.
E. Thomas Wood wrote, “Speaking briefly to NashvillePost.com this afternoon, NBJ Publisher Kate Herman confirmed the editor’s resignation but said she was ‘just not in a position to talk about it at this time.’
“The business weekly, operated by the national chain American City Business Journals, has now seen turnover in its top three positions since July. Herman replaced Bill McMeekin as publisher that month, and Will Higgins left as ad director in August, replaced by Amy Harris.”
A University of Missouri grad, de Lombaerde moved to Cincinnati to be a reporter at the Business Courier, first covering retail and the courts, then banking/finance, investing and macroeconomic issues. Starting in December 1999, he began editing the Portfolio section of the Courier.
In August 2002, he moved to Nashville to be managing editor of the Business Journal. When the former editor left in 2003, he took over. Kenneth Pybus left the NBJ in January to accept a faculty position at Abilene Christian University in Texas.
