Business Elites Africa

https://businesselitesafrica.com
Business Elites Africa is a pan-African business and lifestyle magazine published by Glimpse33 Media Limited, with editorial operations in Lagos and an office in Jacksonville, Florida. The publication chronicles Africa’s entrepreneurial class—founders, corporate leaders, investors and policy shapers—through reported features, data-led explainers, and in-depth interviews. Regular coverage spans finance, technology, retail, energy and culture, alongside a “Billionaires” vertical that tracks wealth and influence across the continent. Its numbered magazine issues anchor the brand. Recent editions spotlighted under-40 innovators and profiled figures such as Babs Ogundeyi, Odunayo Eweniyi, Shola Akinlade and broadcaster Berla Mundi, while running contrarian analysis like “Nigeria’s Billionaires Built on Monopoly, Not Innovation.” The franchise “40 Under 40” highlights emerging leaders across sectors, pairing personal journeys with practical lessons for growth. Beyond publishing, Business Elites Africa convenes the Masters of Industry Awards (MOI Awards), an awards programme created to recognise visionary leadership and impact in African business. Launched in Jacksonville, the 2025 banquet returns to Lagos with broadcaster Frank Edoho as host, underscoring the platform’s cross-Atlantic community. Through journalism, special issues and an annual awards stage, Business Elites Africa connects ambitious readers to the people shaping Africa’s economy and culture. Its editorial stance prizes achievement, accountability and constructive debate, giving entrepreneurs and executives a credible forum to share strategy, benchmark performance and find inspiration.
