2015: The Year in Executive Q&A

$

Dear Readers,

Last week Arkansas Business subscribers received the Book of Lists, in which we compile most of the business lists that we published throughout 2015. Lists like that — the biggest law firms or the highest-paid executives or the most profitable banks — appeal to the part of the human brain that likes to see data organized (especially the kind of data that can translate directly into business contacts and sales leads).

This week, for the second time, we offer a compilation that appeals to the universal interest in other people: all 50 of 2015’s “Executive Q&A” features in the first issue of Arkansas Business for 2016.

Executive Q&A is not hard-hitting journalism. We don’t set out to grill the executives who agree to answer questions for us. (In fact, if we suspect we need to grill someone, we don’t ask him or her to participate in this particular feature.) But we do look for a variety of subjects from all over Arkansas and from a broad cross-section of our state’s industries and institutions. We ask questions about the individual, his company and his industry or area of expertise. We try to ask questions that will elicit candid and enlightening answers, but, naturally, some people are more candid and enlightening than others.

I know the Executive Q&A is a popular feature with our readers, mainly because of the response that the executives themselves report after appearing in it. With this issue, you have an opportunity to catch up on any of the Q&A features that you missed.

Here's a link to the digital edition of this week's Executive Q&A issue. And below, we've linked to each Q&A.

Executive Q&A will continue throughout 2016. If you know of someone who would make a worthy subject, I’m all ears. Email me at GMoritz@ABPG.com.

Best wishes,

Gwen Moritz
