Changes are coming to Edison Research at the executive level. Longtime Senior Vice President Tom Webster has announced that he will be stepping down from his position with the company.
Webster has spent nearly two decades with Edison Research. He’s expected to exit at the end of next month to begin a new chapter in his career that he says he cannot disclose yet.
“I made a difficult decision last month–very difficult. I decided that the best place for me to tackle this phase of my career was outside of Edison Research, my work home for the past 18 years. So, I will be stepping down at the end of May to start the next chapter,” Webster said.
“I’m excited about what is next, and I’ll have more to say on that in the next edition of ‘I Hear Things’, which isn’t going away, by the way. Just as I am doubling down on podcasting, I am also going to be evolving ‘I Hear Things’ into something very exciting, broad-reaching, and ultimately useful for podcasters of every stripe.”
Despite leaving Edison Research, Webster still intends to work with the company as they’ll be partnering on future projects.
“My work with Edison is far from over, and we have established an agreement to partner on many things in the future,” Webster said.
“The attention to getting things right, the clarity, and the moral compass of Larry, Rob, Joe, and Mel (the senior leadership team) and the culture they have set with the rest of Edison is unparalleled. I would say that I would miss them, but I’ll be in their hair for some years to come.”
