DuBose Stepping Down at Vertis Communications

BALTIMORE—Mike DuBose's two-year stint as CEO of Vertis Communications will come to an end when he resigns on January 1. The company has named Stephen Dyott as vice chairman and Alex Sorokin the interim president, effective immediately. DuBose presided over the acquisition of American Color Graphics (ACG), as well as Vertis' reorganizational bankruptcy.

Dyott, who previously served as ACG's chairman and CEO, will serve as a senior advisor to the board and Sorokin. Vertis has hired an executive search firm to assist in securing a permanent CEO.
