Media Industry Veteran Alan Murray Named
President
NEW YORK,
Sept. 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow Jones today announced the
creation of the Dow Jones Leadership Institute, a new
commercial venture focused on executive learning and leadership and
developed to meet the rapidly evolving needs of today's business
leaders. The Institute will be led by Alan Murray, former CEO of Fortune Media, a
prominent author and speaker on leadership issues, and a long-time
veteran of The Wall Street Journal.
Launching in 2025, The Dow Jones Leadership
Institute will harness the global reach of the company's leading
business news and information services to provide real-time
resources for navigating these changes. It will build on the
efforts of The Wall Street Journal CEO Council, a community of top
business leaders, as well as the CMO Network, CIO Network, CCO
Council and CFO Network, to provide essential peer-to-peer learning
and information, real-time data and analysis, unparalleled thought
leadership, and state-of-the-art executive education and
coaching.
"The demands on business leadership have never
been greater, and the need for strong, purpose-driven business
leaders has never been more clear," said Almar Latour, CEO of Dow Jones and Publisher
of The Wall Street Journal. "Transformative technologies, a
historic energy transition, geopolitical conflict and political
tumult are combining to create unprecedented opportunities and
challenges for those running large, complex organizations. Dow
Jones is uniquely positioned to help business leaders navigate
these transformational times, and under Alan's direction, the
Institute is how we will do it."
"Our goal is to help leaders profitably solve the
problems of people and planet and create real value for the
future," said Murray. "Leadership innovation is essential to meet
the demands of the moment. The Dow Jones Leadership Institute will
tap into the resources of the world's leading business news and
information company as well as the experience and knowledge of
today's best business leaders to help light the path forward."
Murray joins Dow Jones following a successful
tenure as CEO of Fortune Media, where he oversaw the company's
business and editorial operations and expanded its digital and
conference franchises. Until earlier this year, he was the author
of the CEO Daily newsletter. Prior to joining Fortune in 2015,
Murray was president of the Pew Research Center. He also spent over
two decades at The Wall Street Journal, serving as deputy managing
editor, executive editor online and Washington bureau chief. He was also the
Washington bureau chief for CNBC
and an author of multiple books.
