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.
