Tom Bergeron. ROI-NJ, Editor & Chief Content Officer of new multimedia NJ business publication; former NJBIZ editor
Editor and chief content officer of ROI-NJ, a digital and print outlet covering the world of business and politics in New Jersey, Bergeron started the venture in 2017 after serving as NJBIZ’s editor for four years. “After spending years writing about entrepreneurs and startups, I decided to create one myself,” he says. A 25-year veteran of primarily sports journalism, Bergeron spent 15 years at the Star-Ledger, as the high school sports editor, then as the overall sports editor during a highly successful sports era which included numerous titles and trips to the finals for the Yankees, Giants, Knicks, Devils and Nets as well as successful athletics at Rutgers. Bergeron then worked for Yahoo! as an assistant managing editor for Yahoo! Sports, discovering that the world’s largest digital media company is quite technologically dysfunctional. When not writing and reporting, Bergeron coaches youth teams (more than 100 teams in the past 17 years!) and has served as his local Little League president for five years. A graduate of UVA, Bergeron and his wife, Lori, live in Morris Plains and have five children. One of his proudest moments was when his oldest daughter’s jazz/blues band (she was lead singer) participated in the Morristown OnStage competition.
