September 21, 2009

In what was one of the worst-kept secrets in b-to-b media, Cygnus Business Media announced that it has named John French as its CEO. French, who had been working as a consultant for Cygnus, is the former CEO of Penton Media. Cygnus also announced that it has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. With the debt-for-equity swap officially completed as part of its bankruptcy agreement, Cygnus, which publishes Firehouse and Kitchen & Bath Design News, is now owned in part by GE Commercial Lending.
