South Florida Chronicle

Patrick Zarrelli

Patrick Zarrelli is a WordPress expert and the team leader of the Dependable Website Management technology team. He also serves as the company’s Chief Executive Officer. Zarrelli started his career in the media as the vice president of BeachFront News, and then as the publisher of the South Florida Chronicle. During that time, Zarrelli oversaw the operations of both companies, participated in new client acquisitions, and was also a popular writer in both their print editions and websites. Both of these independent papers came up while the larger newspapers disintegrated during the economic crash of 2012. In the wake of the Great Recession, Zarrelli saw an opening to enter the market with a lower-priced print advertising alternative to the big South Florida papers. The market was there and the papers were popular, but as a young person in the media, Zarrelli knew that the future of his company was going to be on the internet.
