Canadian Business names new editor

Steve Maich has been named editor and associate publisher of Canadian Business magazine.

Maich served in a variety of increasingly senior editorial roles at Maclean’s during the last six years. He most recently served as executive editor, leading the magazine’s coverage of business and economy as well as
writing the widely read weekly Econowatch column. Prior to that, he served as senior editor and deputy managing editor at the current affairs weekly.

“The team at Canadian Business has established the magazine as one of the country’s strongest and most-respected voices on business affairs, and I’m excited to continue building on that strength,” says Maich in a statement. “Given the state of the global economy, it’s never been more important to provide Canadians
with timely intelligence and insight into the risks and opportunities at home and abroad.”

Maich has won three National Magazine Awards for column and feature writing, and co-authored the 2009 book “The Ego Boom: Why The World Really Does Revolve Around You.” In addition to leading the award-winning editorial team at Canadian Business magazine, Maich will continue to contribute to business
coverage at Maclean’s.
