Former Fast Company editor John Byrne might be kicking himself after splitting for alma mater BusinessWeek, as FC's new owner Joe Mansueto would have picked him to head up his new publishing unit. Instead he only tapped John Koten, the EIC of his other new property Inc. magazine, to be the CEO of publishing arm Mansueto Ventures.

Had Byrne stayed on, the chief position would've been split between the two editors. Now it's just Koten who's taking his visions onward, hoping to establish clearer identities for the titles (said with a slight jab at FC). So what's Koten got in the bag for Fast Company?

I want to clarify Fast Company’s mission a bit more, and make sure it has something to do with something that’s going on in the economy now.

Ladies and gents, meet the new Fast Company: Something to do with something — about the economy! Brilliant. We're hearing reports the magazine will have something to do with money, but they're unconfirmed rumors at this point.
