Huffington Post founder and editor-in-chief to step down
‘It is important to know when one door closes and another opens,’ Arianna Huffington said. She will focus her attention on her new venture, Thrive Global.
She announced her decision with the following tweet:
I thought HuffPost would be my last act. But I’ve decided to step down as HuffPost’s editor-in-chief to run my new venture, Thrive Global.

Huffington will focus on her new venture, a health and wellness startup called Thrive Global. Last week, it was announced that Thrive Global had obtained Series A funding.
“I really thought I could do both, but as we started building it up, I realized that it really needed my full attention,” Huffington told The Wall Street Journal. “It is important to know when one door closes and another opens, and I felt that moment had arrived.”
