Matsuda to Exit Business Journal for Law Firm Post

Matsuda to Exit Business Journal for Law Firm Post Pegi Matsuda, the publisher of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal, is leaving the publication in February. Matsuda joined the Business Journal three years ago as associate publisher and was instrumental in building the newspaper to its current size and stature. During her tenure she held positions on numerous Valley-based business boards and committees and was a familiar face at nearly all of the community’s events. She will be joining Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP in Los Angeles as director of marketing and business development. “I feel fortunate to have been a part of the growth of the Business Journal, and I look forward to watching its continued development, albeit from the outside,” said Matsuda. “But when this unexpected opportunity to enhance the business development efforts of the Sheppard Mullin attorneys arose, I couldn’t pass it up.” Before joining the Business Journal, she had worked for the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce as vice president of marketing and communications. Earlier in her career, Matsuda held various sales and marketing positions at Sempra Energy and with GTE Corp. Her replacement has not yet been named.
