Seattle business journal publisher resigns

Gordon Prouty has resigned as publisher of Puget Sound Business Journal to take a senior position with Greenspun Media Group, a Las Vegas-based media company.

A Business Journal story states, “Prouty joined affiliated publication San Francisco Business Times as advertising director in 2008 before becoming PSBJ publisher three years later.

“Prouty will become a group publisher at Greenspun Media Group, where he’ll oversee several different publications.

“‘In a short period of time, in Seattle, Gordy became a very involved member of the civic and business community,’ said Mike Olivieri, executive vice president of PSBJ parent company American City Business Journals. ‘We appreciate his contributions to our company and the community and wish him much success moving forward.’

“ACBJ President and CEO Whitney Shaw said a search for a successor will begin immediately.”
