The Black Executive Brief
The Black Executive Brief is a business publication documenting Black and African news, insights and leadership across markets, industries, and generations.
We publish clear, disciplined coverage of business, markets, and leadership — alongside original biographies and thematic analysis — for founders, operators, executives, and investors who value context over noise.
This publication exists to document yesterday, today and tomorrow in business.
