Dan Primack, the face behind peHUB – the must read gossip/news/it blog for the VC/PE industry – has just announced he is moving from Reuters to Fortune. He’s been with Reuters for five years (well, he was with the same employer, but Reuters made some acquisitions that brought him into the fold.) Dan started the peHUB newsletter in 2002; I discovered it that year when I was working at Summit Partners in Palo Alto.
For some strange reason, Dan’s move has made me think about my own career since 2002. Although I’ve met Dan a couple of times at large events, I’ve never really had more than an “how ya doing” type conversation with him – but somehow he’s been a very consistent part of my professional life for almost 8 years! And in that time I’ve had full time jobs with two funds, two internships with two others, completed a full time MBA and joined the executive team of a startup, OfficeDrop. Maybe he’s been the most consistent part of my professional life, actually…
Good luck to Dan at Fortune; hopefully his new newsletter/blog will be just as interesting as peHUB. And hopefully peHUB will continue to produce good content too! Although, I hope Dan gets a new profile picture… his current one looks like a mug shot, with him wearing an orange prison jumpsuit:
