Six Apart, a popular blogging service, announced it has appointed Christopher J. Alden as chief executive of the San Francisco company.
Alden replaces Barak Berkowitz, who was the company’s chief executive since 2004.
Berkowitz joined the company when it only a had a few employees; it has since grown to around 150 employees under his leadership. Now, he’s looking to work on other things and slow down for a bit, board member David Hornik, with August Capital, told us.
Alden came to Six Apart in 2006 through its purchase of his previous company, Rojo Networks, a feed aggregator. He was also cofounded Red Herring, a technology magazine, in 1993. He has been leading Six Apart’s enterprise blogging initiatives.
