Michael Arndt named managing editor of Crain’s

Crain’s Chicago Business has named Michael Arndt its new managing editor, replacing Brandon Copple, who left in June for a similar role at Groupon.com. Arndt most recently was Chicago-based editor for innovation and design coverage at Bloomberg Businessweek, a role he assumed with BusinessWeek before that magazine’s acquisition by Bloomberg last year. A senior correspondent in the Chicago bureau, he also served as editor-in-chief of BW Chicago, BusinessWeek’s experiment with a local monthly supplement, which ended after seven months in June 2008.
