Issue 8 2020

Posted on August 6, 2020 | by Patrick Doherty

Welcome to the August 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.

This month’s cover showcases Thaer Suleiman, CEO of CASHU. Long credited to be the first (and, subsequently, largest) Fintech firm in the MENA region, Thaer has certainly overcome his fair share of challenges to drive CASHU’s success. We spoke to Thaer to find out how his experience and work helped shape the company’s ongoing innovation and acceleration.

Thaer’s drive is very much shared by Richard Turner, CEO of Tapiit. As an online training and information portal for shipping and logistics companies, Tapiit has thrived in its sphere of operation. So much so, in fact, that it has garnered a reputation for setting industry standards and continues to be the benchmark on which all others measure themselves.

So, with that, I hope you enjoy this month’s instalment. Stay safe and well.

Please do reach out if you have any questions, opinions or thoughts!

Issue 7 2020

Posted on July 3, 2020 | by Emma Hunt

Welcome to the July 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. Though we’ve been gone for a couple of months due to the current global situation, we’re back on track and ready to resume our normal monthly programming schedule. So let’s get started.

On our front cover this month we have Jesse Lee, CEO of Brooklyn Vendor Assurance. During his tenure, Jesse has overseen the business’s substantial client growth on the back of its flagship product, a B2B SaaS application for vendor management and regulatory compliance. We spoke to Jesse to find out more about his success and how his company is navigating the challenges presented by COVID-19.

Elsewhere, we’ve included a myriad of exceptional CEOs- and their firms- that are driving the technology, insurance, communication and marketing industries to greater heights.

That’s our July issue! I hope you enjoy this month’s instalment. Stay safe and well.

Issue 4 2020

Posted on April 7, 2020 | by Patrick Doherty

Welcome to the April issue of CEO Monthly. As always, every month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from all corners of the business world. I remember that I mentioned that change was a necessary requirement for improvement. But, as we’ve certainly learned, there’s such a thing as too much change. Too much change too quickly. We’ve seen that over the last few weeks.

Indeed, the entire editorial department is currently scattered and working from home. We’re talking via video chat, sending each other short, clipped direct messages. It’s been a learning curve, and certainly a very different way of working from the office environment, where the person you needed was one quick chair scoot away.

I know that there are businesses all over the world who are currently adapting to a very different way of working. It’s been a tumultuous baptism of fire and will continue to be an uncertain time moving forwards. But, make no mistake, businesses across the world are finding ways to thrive despite this uncertainty. We’ve spotlighted just a few here.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this month’s instalment and stay safe.

Issue 3 2020

Posted on March 12, 2020 | by Patrick Doherty

Welcome to the March issue of CEO Monthly. As always, every month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from all corners of the business world. In the new year’s issue I wrote about change – specifically, about how change was necessary for growth. For advancement and development.

The last couple of weeks have been…unusual, to put it lightly. Change has been the one familiar constant as the business world looks towards stabilisation and a return to normalcy, or as close to it as possible. Whilst weathered business leaders are used to adapting to volatility, the coming weeks are sure to pose a challenge for a whole host of companies. Still, as they say, challenge brings about new opportunities. It drives innovation and supercharges creativity.

Innovation and creativity are crucial to the success of the businesses we’ve featured in this issue (how is that for a segue?) From world-class real estate investment consultancies to best in class testing firms, we’ve gathered together industry leaders and drivers of change and asked them – how have you thrived despite challenge? How have you secured your success?

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this month’s instalment. Do get in touch if you have any thoughts, opinions, comments etc.

Issue 2 2020

Posted on February 14, 2020 | by Patrick Doherty

Welcome to the second 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. This month’s theme is the idea of “Challenge”, and all that word means in the corporate world. Sometimes, it means challenging old ideas, and paving the way for a paradigm shift that revolutionises best practice in a sector or industry.

Naturally, the very idea of growing a business involves all sorts of challenges. Challenges of every variety. After all, building a successful business is never easy (far from it) and requires an unflinching drive partnered with creativity and forethought. These are qualities that can be used to describe our cover inclusion for this issue – Gulf Central Bank and its CEO, Hakim Azaiez.

As a UK-registered independent financial services firm, Gulf Central Bank has thrived through its expertise and diversity of thought. We profile the firm and Hakim’s achievements to find out more about how they have expanded over the last nine years.

CEO Monthly also sat down with CEO Andre Daoud to discuss his extraordinary approach to driving innovation in the healthcare industry through his company, Medcare Hospitals and Medical Centres. Andre has built an impressive career through challenging what it means to provide excellence, and that method has helped create a peerless reputation for Medcare Hospitals in the UAE.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this month’s instalment. Do get in touch if you have any thoughts, opinions etc.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the first 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. As has become almost a tradition for January issues, this edition focuses on the ‘new’. The revolutionary. The different.

Aptly, one of our first inclusions profiles the work of Ulysses Neuroscience Ltd. Late last year we sat down with Founder, President and CEO, Dr Massimiliano (Max) Bianchi to discuss his work at Ulysses Neuroscience and how he plans to change the present and future of neuroscientific R&D.

Keysight Technologies has a similar goal in mind, though with a target set firmly over the greater corporate landscape. As a result, Ron Nersesian was named CEO of the Year for the USA by CEO Monthly. Naturally, we were eager to take a deep dive into the company to find out more.

And that’s just the surface of what we have in store.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this month’s instalment. Do get in touch if you have any thoughts, opinions etc.

Issue 12 2019

Posted on December 18, 2019 | by root

Welcome to the twelfth and final issue of CEO Monthly for 2019. As always, every month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from all corners of the business world.

This year has been a year of uncertainty, change and upheaval. Perhaps most years are, but something certainly felt different this time around. In some ways, 2019 seemed almost restless – if a year could be described as restless. The global economy has seen challenges and overcome them, with a small glint of hope as we move into the new decade. For the world of business, 2019 was a year like any other. Opportunities came and were capitalised on. Difficulties resolved, operations adapting to meet the changing needs of markets.

This month we’ve chosen to spotlight just a couple of the firms who have weathered the 2019 storm better than most and ask them, simply, how? Whether it’s by continuing a long-standing legacy to become one of the UK’s Leading CEOs (like Daniel O’Toole and RMS) or continuous growth and development (like Peter Williams of The Thames Club), these businesses are truly the ones to watch in the new decade. Read on to find out more.

All of the team here at CEO Monthly hope you enjoy this month’s issue. As always, we look forward to hearing from you soon.

See you next year!

Issue 11 2019

Welcome to the eleventh issue of CEO Monthly for 2019. As always, every month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from all corners of the business world.

Change. In business, as in most things, change is necessary to improve, adapt and become better. After all, as they say, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Here, then, we celebrate change. In those that drive their industries forward, and let creativity and disruption run rampant. Here’s to new beginnings and new leaders. New ideas. New best practices.

Mihai Ivascu, who graces our cover this month, is a champion of change. As the CEO and Founder of Modex, he aims to be the changing face of business, becoming a leader of a global technology landscape that can be defined- primarily- by evolution. Naturally, we were eager to speak to Mihai to find out more about this unique perspective on work and success in an incredibly competitive environment.

Further in the issue, Matthew Seymour, CEO of RiskFirst, discusses how the company’s risk reporting solutions are helping the pensions and investment markets flourish. Read inside to find out more.

All of the team here at CEO Monthly hope you enjoy this month’s issue. As always, we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Issue 10 2019

Welcome to the tenth issue of CEO Monthly for 2019. As always, every month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from all corners of the business world.

It takes no small amount of innovation, graft and creativity to become a business leader in your industry of choice. This month we have chosen to spotlight three – OXIS Energy, MBC Group and Harkness Screens – who act as inspirational presences in their chosen industries. From next generation energy solutions, to a media leviathan, to the world’s leading manufacturer of cinema screens, true excellence can be seen across the breadth of the global business landscape.

On the cover of this month’s issue is OXIS Energy who are leading the charge when it comes to next-generation Lithium-Sulfur battery technology. CEO Monthly spoke to OXIS Energy’s CEO, Huw Hampson-Jones, to find out more about their plans for the future and how they aim to forever change the expansive and ever-developing energy arena.

Similarly, as the largest -and leading- media company in the Middle East and North African region, MBC Group has had to become almost chameleonic (and endlessly creative) when it comes to fulfilling the needs of its 150 million-strong viewership. Here CEO Sam Barnett discusses how he has secured the group’s meteoric rise over the last two decades.

Finally, we turn to Harkness Screens and CEO Mark Ashcroft. As the world’s leading screen technology company, they have forged an indelible and impressive reputation in the larger entrainment and technology sectors, with few able to match their innovation-first ethos. Mark talks us through some of the firm’s most notable achievements.

All of the team here at CEO Monthly hope you enjoy this month’s issue. As always, we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Issue 9 2019

Welcome to the ninth issue of CEO Monthly for 2019. Every month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from all corners of the business world.

They say that variety is the spice of life and so, this month, CEO Monthly has embraced that maxim wholeheartedly. From best in class ceramics, to insurance brokers, to food manufacturers and everything in between, this issue explores the leading lights in a plethora of global markets.

On the cover of this month’s edition is RAK Ceramics. As one of the largest ceramics’ brands in the world, we were eager to speak to Group CEO Abdallah Massaad following his recognition in the CEO of the Year programme. Innovation, ambition and a demand for excellence define the company as they look to secure their enviable position on the global market.

Elsewhere, we once again profile Gale Klappa, CEO of WEC Energy. At the helm of one of America’s leading electric and natural gas holding companies, Gale can be considered one of the great stalwarts of the US business landscape. We endeavoured to find out more about his outstanding approach to leadership and how he continues to inspire innovation in the company.

All of the team here at CEO Monthly hope you enjoy this month’s issue. As always, we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Issue 8 2019

Posted on August 1, 2019 | by root

Welcome to the eighth issue of CEO Monthly for 2019. Every month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from all corners of the business world. This issue we take a close look at leadership, and what it means to be a game-changer, a trend-setter and a disruptor on the global business landscape. Whilst it is never easy to build a successful business, these leaders have gone a step beyond – creating iconic, revolutionary brands.

Firstly, we endeavoured to take a closer look at Black Horse, one of the UK’s leading vehicle finance providers. As part of the Lloyds Banking Group they enjoy a distinguished reputation in the financial sphere, and have, by all regards, capitalised on it. As Managing Director, Richard Jones was eager to tell us more about their history and achievements.

The compliance industry is notoriously competitive, yet- almost paradoxically- ripe for disruption. Where others have prescribed to traditional methodology, RedefineCompliance has opted to take the road less travelled. CEO Dan Sherry believes that compliance should, at its most fundamental levels, be simple: Easy to understand and therefore, easy to follow. We spoke to Dan to find out more.

All of the team here at CEO Monthly hope you enjoy this month’s issue. As always, we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Issue 7 2019

Welcome to the seventh issue of CEO Monthly for 2019. Every
month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from
all corners of the business world.

This month we have chosen to spotlight the leaders of the
finance industry as they look to adapt and overcome an increasingly challenging
market. Whether it is through providing bridging loans, consultancy services,
or through next-generation cross-border payment solutions, this issue’s
inclusions have sought – in every way – to go above and beyond.

Earlier this year we recognised the deVere Group’s CEO,
Nigel Green, as the Most Influential CEO of the Year. As one of the world’s
largest independent financial consultancies, the deVere Group has nurtured an
impressive reputation in one of the most competitive sectors on the financial
landscape. Following Nigel’s success, we endeavoured to take a closer look at
the company he founded.

Elsewhere, we speak to Elysium Bridging’s CEO, Paul Gammond,
on the back of the firm’s recent success in the 2019 Financial Leaders
programme. As a short-term residential bridging lender, they provide a vital
service on the UK market and have grown organically through an innovation-first
ethos.

All of the team here at CEO Monthly hope you enjoy this
month’s issue and look forward to hearing from you soon.
