About

The Publication of Record for Southern Business

Southern CEO is where Southern business leaders are introduced, recognized, and positioned for greater visibility — with the editorial depth the story deserves.

Our Mission

Telling the Stories That Define Southern Business

Southern CEO was founded on a simple belief: the South produces world-class business leaders, and those leaders deserve world-class coverage. For too long, the founders, executives, and innovators building remarkable companies across the South have been overlooked by national media.

We cover the founders, executives, professionals, companies, and innovators shaping business throughout the South — with the depth, authority, and editorial standards the story deserves.

Southern CEO is a Burroughs House Media publication.

Authority

We report with depth and precision. Every story is thoroughly researched, fact-checked, and editorially independent.

Representation

The South is diverse. Our coverage reflects the full range of leaders, industries, and communities shaping the region.

Impact

We measure success by the doors we open — for the leaders we profile and the readers who find them here.

Integrity

Our editorial decisions are never for sale. Recognition programs are merit-based. Coverage is earned, not bought.
