Orlando Biz Journal publisher to retire

Orlando Business Journal publisher Ann Sonntag announced her retirement after 21 years with parent company American City Business Journals and 16 years as head of ACBJ’s Orlando paper.

A story on the paper’s website states, “Sonntag joined ACBJ in May 1991 as ad director in Charlotte, N.C., then transferred to Orlando in September 1995 as associate publisher before becoming publisher 10 months later.

“Among her many accomplishments while at OBJ, she helped create the Women Who Mean Business awards program, as well as guided the newspaper in winning eight Eagle awards, the ACBJ’s highest award.

“Earlier this year, Sonntag was named recipient of the John Young History-Maker Award, and also received the Athena International 2012 Leadership Award for her commitment to businesswomen from all sectors and generations.”
