Huffington Post Co-founder Arianna Huffington has announced she is to leave the company to focus on running her new venture, health and wellness start-up Thrive Global.
"I thought HuffPost would be my last act. But I've decided to step down as HuffPost's editor-in-chief to run my new venture, Thrive Global," she tweeted.
Ms Huffington, 66, co-founded the Huffington Post in 2005.
Thrive Global, which will offer services to companies to improve the well-being of their employees, recently closed a Series A funding round ahead of a launch in the autumn.
Thrive Global's mission is to change the way we work & live by ending the collective delusion that burnout is a necessary price for success.

Verizon Communications owns the Huffington Post through AOL, which bought the liberal American online news aggregator and blog for $315m (€282m) in February 2011.
