Stewart resigns as Harvard Business Review editor
Thomas A. Stewart, 60, has resigned as editor and managing director of Harvard Business Review, the monthly magazine said today, adding that it is immediately starting a search for a successor.
With a circulation of 246,000 and a focus on management thought and practice, Harvard Business Review, or HBR, is published by Harvard Business Publishing, a not-for-profit, wholly-owned subsidiary of Harvard University.
After six years on the job, Stewart is leaving for personal reasons, said an HBR spokeswoman who declined to comment further.
During the search for a successor, HBR said that deputy editor Karen Dillon, editorial director Sarah Cliffe, and publisher Hank Boye will serve as the senior leadership team for the magazine.
During Stewart's tenure, HBR was "twice named a finalist for General Excellence in the National Magazine Awards, won the 2007 Folio Magazine “Eddie” award for best issue, and launched fruitful content partnerships with such organizations as the World Economic Forum," HBR said in a statement.
