BusinessTech is pleased to announce the promotion of Malcolm Libera to the position of deputy editor, where he will be responsible for editorial guidance and growing the publication.

Editor Quinton Bronkhorst said that Libera’s promotion is a testament to his hard work and diligence.

“Malcolm’s promotion to the management team is well-deserved. He has been instrumental in BusinessTech’s growth, demonstrating all the qualities of a strong leader,” Bronkhorst said.

“He will be a key part of the decision-making process and will ensure that BusinessTech’s data-driven journalism and coverage continue to make an impact in the South African media space.”

BusinessTech started in 2012, quickly becoming the go-to publication in South Africa for developments in the business and finance markets.

Its audience is primarily composed of high-income earners and key business decision-makers, including CEOs, directors, and managers.

It also has a popular podcast series, Business Talk with Michael Avery, where South African C-suite executives and thought leaders are interviewed.

Business Talk with Michael Avery has shown equally impressive growth, reaching 8 million views across YouTube, Facebook, and its dedicated platform.
