Evan Parker, a Senior Vice President and General Manager at The Athletic, has announced he is departing the digital outlet.
In a post on LinkedIn, Parker shared that Friday, April 21st will be his final day with the company.
“To call this experience a dream is an understatement,” wrote Parker.
Parker joined The Athletic in July 2019 after spending 8 years working in content for NASCAR.
“A big part of my motivation for joining The Athletic was to help create something long-lasting that would thrive well beyond my time with the company,” he added.
“I’m proud that we’ve done that, and under the ownership of The New York Times (which acquired us 14 months ago), I have zero doubt I’ll be able to read The Athletic until I’m old and gray.”
Parker did not share what his next step would be, simply stating that he is “going to be partnering with a few people I deeply respect and admire on a new project”. He added that he would share more details soon.
