Phoenix Biz Journal editor Lowery reflects as she departs

Ilana Lowery

Ilana Lowery, the Phoenix Business Journal editor, reflects on leaving the publication next month after 23 years.

Lowery writes, “My last day will be June 4. The decision to spread my wings has been a difficult and bittersweet one. The people at the Phoenix Business Journal are more my family than my co-workers. I care about each of them — and their families — very much. In many cases, I have known them since their children were born, and for a few, I’ve gotten to see those same kids graduate from college.

“I take great pride being a part of this team.

“For more than two decades, our parent company, American City Business Journals, has given me several exciting opportunities to learn and advance. I’ve enjoyed every moment, especially building the best newsroom I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

“Now, after 23 years at the Business Journal, I am ready for a change and a new challenge.”
