The Future of Leadership Conversations Starts Here.

The Executive Synapse Review is an emerging executive thought leadership and influence platform exploring the intersection of:

• Innovation

• Executive Intelligence & Influence

The Executive Synapse Review is a dedicated business entity and executive media platform established under Practice Vision Global Alliace, The Centre of Excellence, neuroscience-led leadership and transformation organisation founded by Dr. Watceilia Varso.

Created to bridge the gap between traditional executive media and the future of human-centred leadership, the platform exists to elevate conversations that move beyond surface-level business trends into deeper strategic, behavioural, and transformational insights shaping the future of organisations globally.

We are building more than a publication.

We are building a future-focused executive ecosystem connecting leaders, academics, innovators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and transformational thinkers through meaningful conversations, strategic storytelling, thought leadership, and industry partnerships.

We are now seeking an E ditorial & Strategic Partnerships Lead/Director to help shape and scale this vision.

About The Role

This is a rare opportunity to help build a next-generation executive media and influence platform from the ground up.

You will work closely with the Founder & Editorial Visionary to:

A Rare Build-and-Grow Opportunity

This role is ideal for someone excited by building, shaping, and growing alongside a visionary and rapidly evolving platform.

• enjoys creating rather than simply maintaining
• thrives with autonomy and initiative
• can think strategically while building operationally

• shape editorial direction
• influence partnerships
• build networks
• create systems
• contribute to platform growth
• leave your mark on an emerging global brand

This role offers the chance to grow with the organisation and evolve into a larger leadership portfolio as the platform expands internationally.
