Bill Albrecht, who had been with the Akron Beacon Journal in leadership roles since 2018, has left the company for a new professional opportunity.
Albrecht, who will be relocating outside of Ohio, was most recently regional vice president of sales for northern Ohio for Gannett and the USA TODAY Network. He initially served as Beacon Journal publisher following its 2018 sale to a company that merged with Gannett in 2019.
“I have been honored be a part of the Akron Beacon Journal team and getting to know Akron and Summit County,” Albrecht said. He also thanked employees who have pivoted to better serve advertisers and readers despite staff working from home for a year. “You have not missed a beat.”
