Arianna Huffington announced Thursday that she will step down as editor in chief of her namesake news outlet, The Huffington Post, to run a new venture called Thrive Global. Huffington launched the news site, popularly referred to as HuffPost, in 2005, as a left-leaning alternative to news-aggregation titan Drudge Report. The site was bought by AOL in 2011, for $315 million, and Huffington was named editor in chief of a newly formed Huffington Post Media Group. In June 2016, Huffington announced the launch of health and wellness advisory startup Thrive Global, which she reportedly told staffers would create educational workshops, online courses, and certifications to help companies focus on and improve the well-being of its employees. “I thought HuffPost would be my last act,” she confessed while announcing her departure on Twitter. “I’m filled with gratitude to all the colleagues and friends I’ve made here.”
