After seven and a half years, the time has come for me to bid a fond farewell to International Adviser. I joined the publication in October 2015 as a news reporter, little guessing that I would one day run it as editor.
The time has now come for me to pass the baton to the hugely capable and talented Robbie Lawther, who I have had the pleasure of working alongside since October 2018.
International Adviser is entering the next stage of its development. Not only is Robbie now full editor, but the publication has found a new home with the Mark Allen Group. While IA’s parent company may have changed, its editorial commitment and output will not.
My thanks to the people I have met along the way, and the companies and readers who continue to support IA.
It has been a genuine pleasure to report on the industry for the past seven years. I’ve been fortunate to have travelled to Hong Kong, Singapore, the UAE, South Africa and across Europe during my time at IA. I’ve met people who have shared insights, stories, tales of wonder and woe, and occasionally some gossip. I have never taken that confidence or trust lightly.
As I take on my next challenge outside of the company, I leave with the full confidence that International Adviser is only going to go from strength to strength.
Best wishes, Kirsten
