Business Chief expands portfolio with new look and coverage

After more than 100 issues, Business Chief relaunches today with an expanded portfolio of four regional brands and two new Chief titles.

Business Chief will now be available in four regional editions instead of three, now providing exclusive interviews and insights for US & Canada, UK & Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia & ANZ. 

Each of the refreshed titles will be published bimonthly, with Business Chief Middle East & Africa and Business Chief US & Canada in September and then Business Chief Asia & ANZ and Business Chief UK & Europe from October.

The brand-new additions to the portfolio, Marketing Chief and Finance Chief, are joining the family in November and December, and will also be published bimonthly.

“Business Chief has a long history, and bright future,” says Scott Birch, Editor-in-Chief, Business Chief, and Chief Content Officer of publishers BizClik.

“Extending our footprint means Business Chief is now truly global and better reflects the world of business. From Dubai to Dublin, Dallas to Delhi – we bring you exclusive interviews and insights with inspirational leaders, innovators, and key decision makers who are shaping the future of business.”

Each issue of Business Chief covers key issues facing CEOs today, including:

• Leadership
• People & Planet
• ESG
• Tech & AI

Business Chief will also cover Lifestyle, providing a curated selection of the best experiences, products and services.
