RICHARD REISMAN
CEO/PUBLISHER
ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL
WHY: Long-running head of OC’s only business publication. Face of the paper. Knows almost every major figure in the county.
IN THE NEWS: Last year, 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.”
