In the midst of a busy summer of lockdown easing, (some) travel, vaccine programmes and an Olympic Games to boot, there remains an excitement about the prospect of getting back to work after months of disruption to global economies and working cultures. For many, the lockdowns have been an opportunity to reflect, evolve and innovate and now, these businesses are eager to welcome back customers and clients to see the results of many months of hard work. In this month’s issue, we take a closer look at these businesses as they emerge from the global pandemic stronger than ever.

Our featured company for this month is one that has sought to evolve and innovate since its inception, earning co-Founder, Sajung Yun, the title of CEO of the Year 2021 for Healthcare IT. Predictiv combines academic and business acumen to deliver genomic solutions that ultimately facilitate better health and wellbeing for people across the planet. We find out more about this pioneer of medical innovation.

As ever, we hope you enjoy this month’s issue of CEO Monthly and its success stories of CEOs worldwide, and wish you all the best for the month ahead.

Issue 7 2021

Welcome to the July issue of CEO Monthly.

As always, CEO Monthly is dedicated to providing the latest news and features across the business world to our readership. By sharing knowledge, insights, expertise and success stories from around the globe, we aim to inspire individuals and promote positivity in a world that is in a constant state of evolution.

Just like that, we’re in the midst of summer. Looking forward to the end of the year, and the beginning of the next one. While the last twelve months could be seen as stalled time, it wasn’t without its milestones – many we’ve showcased right here in our monthly issues. But, right now, we’re seeing those months spent planning and waiting pay off, tenfold, and momentum is only building for companies across the world. From a leadership position, CEOs and Directors have had an opportunity to explore perhaps forgotten aspects of their business – internal infrastructure, agility and adaptability, in a way that would have been difficult to attain in any other situation. For many, it’s been an eye-opening experience, and one that has paved the way for more improvement across the board. We’ll no doubt see developments in markets and industries for years to come that found their start in 2020 and challenges born from the pandemic.

Here at CEO Monthly, we’ll be keeping a finger on the pulse to highlight those developments as they come in and share the expertise behind them. So, stay tuned!

In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the month ahead. See you all in August!

Issue 6 2021

As always, CEO Monthly is dedicated to providing the latest news and features across the business world to our readership. By sharing knowledge, insights, expertise and success stories from around the globe, we aim to inspire individuals and promote positivity in a world that is in a constant state of evolution.

Despite the ongoing effects of Covid-19 pandemic, countries around the world are already well on their way in the path to recovery. To that end, the businesses that are fundamental to their economies are gearing up for life after lockdown, making strategic plans and reinvigorating their operations ready for the reopening of global markets.

In this June issue of CEO Monthly, we meet some of the minds behind exceptional brands across the globe that are embracing technological innovation in their plans for expansion and growth as we emerge from a global pandemic. Our featured company this month, the global charter aviation company, SHY Aviation, is one such brand that has adapted to not only survive but thrive in the aftermath of the Covid-19 breakout. Co-Founder Giles Vickers tells us about the resilience of SHY Aviation over the past year, that is paving the way for ambitious plans over the years to come.

We hope you enjoy this issue of CEO Monthly and hope that you stay safe and well as we re-enter the world after many months of lockdown. Until next month, we wish you all the best.

Issue 5 2021

As always, CEO Monthly is dedicated to providing the latest news and features across the business world to our readership. By sharing knowledge, insights, expertise and success stories from around the globe, we aim to inspire individuals and promote positivity in a world that is in a constant state of evolution.

As vaccine programs across the world are rolled out and companies are able to look towards a life beyond the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a sense of optimism in the air. Although an inevitably tough period, the pandemic has presented many professionals with the chance to reinvigorate their businesses, to introduce innovative new tech and modernise operations ready for the new economic era that is soon to be ushered in.

In this month’s cover story, we find out how Billy Thompson, CEO of Lumegent, has employed strong and thorough leadership to navigate the global pandemic and prepare for a very different world in terms of client need and demand. As a result, Lumegent is enjoying a successful 2021, having supported clients through a challenging year as they explore new avenues for marketing strategies that will be effective in an exciting and as yet unknown stage of our global development.

Thus, in this month’s issue, we invite you to join us as we discover how businesses across the world are similarly relying on a potent blend of strong leadership and innovation to take on life after lockdown.

Until next time, we wish you a fantastic month ahead.

Issue 4 2021

As always, CEO Monthly is dedicated to providing its readers with the latest news and features from across the global business world. Sharing knowledge, insights, expertise, and success stories from all over the world allows us to inspire individuals and promote positivity in a world where everything is changing every single day.

Leadership has been vital during the pandemic as businesses have taken charge of their own situations in order to survive during these difficult times. Not content to sit back and wait for things to blow over, these CEOs and business leaders have carved out their own success, despite what the world has thrown at them. This very sentiment of carving out one’s own success story can be best summed up in our cover feature for this month, Actionplus Foundation.

Grounded by the belief that people need to “take action now”, the Actionplus Foundation was founded by the Apostle Fred Osei Annin in 1997 with a dedication to destigmatising HIV and AIDS within the faith communities of the BAME population. The firm’s mission was simple, yet powerful, and it has proven effective in its almost twenty-five years of service to faith communities around the world. Were it not for Fred’s steadfast leadership, that success may never have come.

Join us as we dive into this latest issue of CEO Monthly to discover more stories of leadership success, visionary guidance, and outstanding business acumen. Until next time, have a fantastic rest of the month ahead and we’ll see you in May.

Issue 3 2021

As always, CEO Monthly is dedicated to providing the latest news and features across the business world to our readership. After all, knowledge sharing is crucial to enduring success – especially in a world that seems so focused on adapting, changing and shifting beneath our very feet.

This issue we have focused in on the technologies that have helped redefine how we work. Last year, more than anything, offered an opportunity to redefine the workplace. Businesses that had never delved into the realm of remote working suddenly found themselves with few other options. For others, it was the next step on an already established path – the infrastructure was there, the intranets and VPNs and communication lines were in place. The rest had to adapt quickly, jumping in at a time when services and expertise in the arena were stretched somewhat thin. This year, then, presents an opportunity to strengthen and reinforce what was created quickly. We’re already seeing companies spring into action to capitalise on this need for experience in what is, for many, a rather alien area of operation.

So let’s dive in and see what technology has to offer for companies of all sizes looking to expand on this strange new world we live in.

Until next time, we hope you have a fantastic month ahead.

Issue 2 2021

As always, CEO Monthly is dedicated to providing the latest news and features across the business world to our readership. After all, knowledge sharing is crucial to enduring success – especially in a world that seems so focused on adapting, changing and shifting beneath our very feet.

We’ve discussed the qualities of exceptional leadership throughout the last few years. Most of the time, the list is pretty static with little in the way of deviation. Last year proved to be an anomaly in that sense, with leaders of all varieties being tested in new novel ways. There was no guidebook or precedent, and much of what was decided was almost utilitarian in its outlook and approach. We’ve seen how 2020 impacted previous ‘best practices’ of leadership. We’ve seen it raw and exposed. Over the last few months, we’ve seen a new paradigm emerge, where even the most established businesses suddenly find a sense of mortality. Nothing is absolute or certain.

Which begs the question – how has leadership changed in light of 2020? That’s something we’ll be digging into over the following issues, and we’ve just dipped our toes in here. So, with that – enjoy!

Until next time, we hope you have a fantastic month ahead.

Issue 1 2021

Welcome to the first issue of 2021!

As always, CEO Monthly is dedicated to providing the latest news and features across the business world to our readership. After all, knowledge sharing is crucial to enduring success – especially in a world that seems so focused on adapting, changing and shifting beneath our feet. Last year was a crucible of change, intent on destroying long-standing paradigms and shaking industries to their core.

Over the last few months, we’ve learned to change and play by the pandemic’s rulebook. We’ve collectively found some semblance of solid ground, and rebuilt foundations – in whatever way we can. It’s been difficult (an understatement, for sure), but 2021 looks different in its outlook. So, here’s to a more optimistic time ahead!

As for our January inclusions, we profiled the achievements of Mubashar Khokhar, CEO of Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam, spoke to CEO Anthony De Almeida on his successes in the business turnaround sphere, and took a deep dive in Investment House’s Managing Director, Mohammed Bin Ahmed Al-suwaidi. And, that’s just in the first ten pages.

Until next time, we hope you have a fantastic month ahead.

Issue 12 2020

Welcome to the December edition of CEO Monthly Magazine, a monthly publication designed to bring you all of the latest news and updates from across the business world.

As 2020 draws to a close, we have reflected on the past twelve months, looking at the accomplishments of businesses from various industries and the success they have had thanks to the support of their outstanding leadership.

For example, Muhammad Asif is the CEO of Main Course Associates, a specialist consultancy offering growth focused business solutions to businesses across the hospitality landscape. Following him joining the firm, Muhammad became the company’s CEO in the just three years. Since then, he has continued to drive MCA to success through its substantial client base with offices in the UK, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.

Another prime example is that of Mr Zameer Upadhya, CEO of private equity firm Platinum Premier Global Equity. Mr Upadhya drives the success of the business almost as much as the nature of his work itself, as he builds and grows relationships with partners around the world.

These are just a few samples of the insightful features that we have collected for this final issue of 2020. For now, we hope that you stay safe and have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year, and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2021.

Issue 11 2020

Welcome to the November issue of CEO Monthly magazine, your monthly source for all of the latest news and updates from across the business world.

This edition – one of the last of this strange year- we are focusing on diversity. On bringing in new perspectives, new opportunities for growth. After all, if we’ve learned anything this year, it is that change can come suddenly and sometimes we have to think outside of the usual or the expected to thrive. Diversity is a wonderful thing in business, and we should celebrate those that aim to further diversity across the global business landscape.

Dr Cindi Love, CEO of Out for Undergraduate Business Conference Inc., has endeavoured to promote LGBTQ+ individuals into roles of leadership. Here, she discussed the importance of her work and her continued efforts in seeing a greater diversity of people in boardrooms across the United States. Of course, that’s just one example, and we have featured many others within these pages.

So, from me and the team at CEO Monthly: we hope you have a wonderful November and a delightful rest of the year ahead. See you for issue 12, coming soon!

Issue 10 2020

Welcome to the October edition of CEO Monthly magazine, your monthly source for all of the latest news and updates from across the business world.

These past few months have certainly tested businesses and their leadership teams in how they respond and adapt to challenges that arise. For many, the pandemic has had a positive impact on their business, with many reporting record high sales and an influx in new opportunities.

Within this insightful issue, we have filled the pages with a diverse range of businesses and their influential CEO’s from all corners of the global, showcasing the remarkable accomplishments they have been able to achieve this year. We discover how these firms’ CEOs have discovered new ways to operate to ensure that their company is able to continue delivering their award-winning services during these unprecedented times.

As always, we hope that you enjoy the latest instalment of CEO Monthly and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions.

Issue 9 2020

Welcome to the September issue of CEO Monthly for 2020. As always, every month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from all corners of the business world.

We’re starting to return to more normal proceedings here at CEO Monthly, and we hope that is also reflected in the features we have included in this issue. After all, the world of businesses never truly stops, and that holds true even during global pandemics.

This is especially true for the finance industry, which finds itself as one of the true foundational cornerstones of the professional business landscape. As CEO of iGTB, Manish Maakan has built a legacy defined by a formidable reputation in the banking arena and is now one of the preferred partners for banks when it comes to digital transaction transformation programs. Essentially, Manish is in the business of bettering banking services – a task with sky-high expectations. We spoke with Manish to find out more about his achievements, experience and expertise.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy reading this issue of CEO Monthly. I hope you stay safe and have a wonderful month ahead.
