RICHARD REISMAN
CEO/PUBLISHER
ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL
WHY: Long-running head of OC’s only business trade publication in both print and digital. Face of the publication. Knows almost every executive and entrepreneur in the county.
IN THE NEWS: The newspaper promoted Peter J. Brennan to editor-in-chief and hired Nancy Luna as executive editor – both have combined 70 years of journalism experience.
NOTABLE: Since becoming publisher in 1990, has guided this city business journal from one of the worst performers among the major markets to the top in terms of its local influence, circulation and financial performance.
QUOTABLE: “Our trademarked slogan, ‘The Community of Business,’ explains well our publication’s goal of bringing the business community together.”
