Seattle 2.0 Goes from Calbucci to Cabala

Seattle 2.0 founder Marcelo Calbucci said today he has named television reporter Jennifer Cabala the new president and editor-in-chief of the organization, in charge of business and editorial content. Cabala previously was a TV journalist with KING 5 and Q13 (Fox) based in Seattle. Calbucci says he will continue as a blogger and advisor to the site—which focuses on blogs, features, and events around the local startup community—and will assist in the transition to the new management.
