Two weeks from today, I'll be changing jobs to work in the digital department at Fast Company.
For those of you who don't know, Fast Company is a magazine and website that's "charting the evolution of business through a unique focus on the most creative individuals sparking change in the marketplace."
If that's not clear -- this might help: When I interviewed, I was told that the magazine was started because there was no Rolling Stone for people in business (and you can only imagine how much my ears perked up at that statement). Usually we only see celebrities and musicians on the cover of magazines and the people in corporate offices don't get the recognition they deserve for creating new ideas, innovative technologies and solutions to global problems. Fast Company sees people, such as the CEO of Nike, as a different kind of "rock star" and wants to give these individuals a platform that shows off their talents and what they are doing to change their industry and the world.
Although I'm sad to be leaving RollingStone.com (it was an incredible experience and I honestly can't believe I had the chance to work for such an iconic brand with such such good people), I think Fast Company will be a great next-step for me. I believe that their web strategy is extremely forward-thinking and I'm very excited to be continuing my career with a team of smart and driven people.
