Welcome to the first digital-only edition of The CEO Magazine EMEA.
Maybe this is your first time reading the magazine, or maybe you’re a diehard fan who has seen the brand evolve and grow over the past 10-plus years. Either way, we hope that you love the new presentation as you get inspired and motivated by the incredible C-suite executives within.
In this issue, we have stellar stories featuring hip-hop legend Jay-Z, who knows more than a thing or two about branding and business; Ankiti Bose, whose startup Zilingo has hit unicorn status in Asia, making her one of the youngest and most successful CEOs; and Jessica Tan, a force to be reckoned with as she heads up Ping An Insurance China, an impressive €150 billion Chinese conglomerate.
Make sure you work your way through all the sections, so you don’t miss out on what you need to start you own family office (a cool €85 million is a good place to begin), 15-minute cities, everything you need to know about caviar, plus the world’s richest race and the most luxurious hot springs.
Enjoy the read.
