Executive is an English-language business monthly published in Beirut. Its first issue reached newsstands in 1999, and Yasser Akkaoui has been its publisher since 2001. The magazine covers Lebanese banking, finance, insurance, technology, tourism, hospitality, media and retail, and follows economic issues across the Levant, Iraq, Jordan and the Gulf. It also covers public policy, corruption, the environment and cultural heritage. Beyond reporting, it runs advocacy campaigns it calls movements, such as an Economic Roadmap, a Say No to Corruption campaign and a push to preserve bank deposits after Lebanon's financial collapse. In 2010 it became the first Lebanon-based pan-Arab member of the media auditor BPA Worldwide. Back issues are archived online by year.
