This is a really short post.
1. Earlier this week we announced that Serious Business, where I have been the VP of Business Development for the past 18 months, was acquired by Zynga. You can read more about it here. It’s a great outcome for the team and I’m excited to see what the two companies will do together.
2. At the end of last year I sold my conference business to Alan Meckler and the team at WebMediaBrands. So far it has been a great partnership and we have some cool new events coming to market later this year.
I would not recommend trying to work on two meaningful transactions at once – it’s very tiring. As such, I’m taking a short break from work while I mull over the next steps. I have a few cool ideas of things I’d like to do and should be able to say more about my future plans shortly.
great job charles, excited to see your next project!
Congrats Charles! Very excited for you for both of those outcomes and I'm sure you have plenty more in store 🙂
