My team and I will be striving to make Exec the brand of choice for decision-makers across the globe."

The Exec brand encompasses a 'global executive marketplace' of diverse products and services as White Digital Media develops its strategy of building an extensive portfolio of territory and sector driven digital magazines, websites and global services.

White Digital Media's global development will see an impressive range of territories covered by the new-look Exec brand, including Asia, the Middle East and South America, adding to White Digital Media's established magazines and websites covering the US, UK, Ireland and Canada.

The company is also seeking to diversify its content, adding coverage of luxury travel, high-end cars, the latest gadgets and money matters as it looks to reflect the interests and passions of the modern executive.
