Washington Biz Journal publisher Abrahams resigns

Peter Abrahams

Peter Abrahams, market president and publisher of the Washington Business Journal since November 2018, will be departing this summer to pursue a new opportunity, reports Vandana Sinha of the Business journal.

Sinha reports, “He said he can’t give more specifics yet of the new move, but he added that it will take him back and forth from D.C. to Baltimore starting later this year. His last day with the WBJ will be Aug. 3.

“‘It has been an incredible privilege to be part of the WBJ family for the last two years’ Abrahams said. ‘I am excited for what lies ahead, but will miss being part of the finest news organization in our city.’

“A search for his successor is underway by the American City Business Journals, the parent company for the WBJ.”
