John Byrne Biography

John Byrne is the chairman and CEO of C-Change Media Inc. Recognized for his contributions to the field of journalism, Byrne previously held the positions of editor-in-chief of both Fast Company Magazine and BusinessWeek.com, as well as executive editor of BusinessWeek magazine. Throughout his tenure at BusinessWeek, Byrne authored an impressive total of 58 cover stories. Beyond his journalistic endeavors, Byrne has written or co-authored more than 10 business books, two of which were New York Times bestsellers. His drive stems from a belief in the immense drama and emotion inherent in business, making him strive to portray the intellect, ego, and ambition present in entrepreneurial life.

In response to the transformative shifts in the traditional media industry, Byrne founded C-Change Media, a digital media company. Byrne owns and operates three niche business websites under C-Change Media: PoetsandQuants.com, PoetsandQuantsforExecs.com, and TippingTheScales.com.

Byrne has spoken at numerous international conferences and has been frequently interviewed about the new world of journalism and the future of business education. He has been covered by prestigious entities like Harvard University's Nieman Reports, The Christian Science Monitor, and MediaWeek magazine.

Byrne's journey began as a first-generation college student. He holds a master's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri and an undergraduate degree in English and political science from William Paterson College. Today, his professional goal remains as it started, to cover the great drama of business, as he continues to contribute to the field both as a journalist and an author.
