The Face of Business in West Virginia
Some very exciting changes have occurred at West Virginia Executive magazine, and we are very excited to be able to share our news with you.

West Virginia Executive magazine, West Virginia’s premier statewide business publication, was purchased by Executive Ink, LLC November 2008 from the previous publisher by four of its employees and one investing partner.

The opportunity we have been given is a great one—one that requires focus, determination and a continued devotion to the state of West Virginia. The challenges ahead of us are not unrecognized as we face a new business venture in economically unstable times. In fact, as the founding members of Executive Ink, LLC we welcome the challenges that lay before us and the changes we will incorporate to continue the success of West Virginia Executive.

We are five owners from very different backgrounds but we share the same common goal—to remind every Mountaineer of the many advantages and blessings of being “Wild and Wonderful” while we promote West Virginia—our wonderful workforce, our natural beauty and our precious way of life—to the rest of the country and the world.

Great things are in the works for West Virginia Executive. A new chapter has begun and the partners are ready to, as Governor Manchin stated in his 2009 State of the State address, “…roll up our sleeves and get to work.”
