Arianna to leave Huffington Post
Click here for reuse options![She] says she will be leaving the company in the coming weeks to focus on a soon-to-launch startup dedicated to issues of health and wellness.
Ms. Huffington, who is 66 years old, had signed a new deal in June of last year to remain at the Huffington Post as president and editor-in-chief through 2019. But she said the contract allowed her to launch the new company, Thrive Global, while continuing in her role at the site.
When she secured Series A funding for the new venture late last week, she said it had become clear she could no longer continue running the Huffington Post.
“I really thought I could do both, but as we started building it up, I realized that it really needed my full attention,” she said in an interview. “It is important to know when one door closes and another opens and I felt that moment had arrived.”
