Silicon Valley Biz Journal names publisher

The Silicon Valley Business Journal has appointed Malcolm Bordelon as publisher.

Editor Greg Baumann writes, “‘We’re thrilled to have someone with Malcolm’s talents join the Business Journal,’ said Alex Orfinger, executive vice president at SVBJ’s parent company, American City Business Journals. ‘His experience, most recently with the Sharks, and his deep knowledge of Silicon Valley’s business community are perfect complements to our growth plans.’

“Bordelon, who has lived in San Jose for more than 20 years, has a record of community involvement, including time on the board of the San Jose Downtown Foundation. He also served as president of the San Jose Downtown Association in 1998 and 1999.

“‘The SVBJ is a respected business news organization and resource and is truly connected to the community it serves,’ Bordelon said. ‘My predecessor, James MacGregor, has done a remarkable job steering this ship and he assembled a terrific group of people. This is an amazing opportunity to be deeply involved in the most dynamic business climate in the country while working alongside a talented team, and with a quality organization.'”
