Publisher of Raleigh business paper to retire

Charlene Grunwaldt, the publisher of the Triangle Business Journal since it was acquired by American City Business Journals, plans to retire at the end of the year, according to a story on its Web site. A replacement has not been named.

The story states, “Grunwaldt began her career with ACBJ, publisher of 40 weekly business journals in markets across the nation, in 1986 in the circulation department of The Charlotte Business Journal. Within three years, she had risen to fill two management positions simultaneously – circulation director and business manager.

“ACBJ closed on the acquisition of Triangle Business Journal, then known as Triangle Business, on Oct. 31, 1991, and Grunwaldt was named publisher. The journal since has charted consistent growth.

“‘Throughout her tenure as publisher, Char has worked tirelessly to make Triangle Business Journal a respected voice in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill community,’ Shaw said. ‘Clearly, she has succeeded on every count.’

“‘The Triangle market has proved to be one of ACBJ’s stronger markets, and that’s a tribute to the dynamic business community in which it’s been my pleasure to live and work for the past 19 years,’ said Grunwaldt.”
