Insider Will Run Harvard Biz Review

The Harvard Business Review has settled on insider Nan Stone to be its editor, a job she has held in all but name since March as editorial director, the Boston Globe reports today.

"It's a real statement of confidence of what's going on at the review," Stone told the paper of her appointment.

Stone, who joined the journal in 1983, is seen as a stabilizing force.

Editors say her familiarity with the Business School's faculty and her editing experience there has gone a long way in smoothing the turmoil that has wracked the review in recent years.

Stone, 47, is the publication's fourth editor in five years.
