Etienne Uzac, a seasoned media entrepreneur, possesses a wealth of experience in print and digital media, making him well-equipped to handle global business operations. Born in Santiago, Chile, Etienne's early years were marked by globetrotting as his family relocated to South Africa and France. He completed his high school education at Lycée Stanislas Paris in France before pursuing higher studies at The London School of Economics and Political Science. Etienne's journey took him to New York, where he played a pivotal role as a founding member of the International Business Times (IBT), a digital media company established in 2006. Operating out of New York, IBT swiftly gained recognition by delivering all-digital business news coverage to diverse countries. As the company expanded its reach, it underwent a name change to IBT Media and ventured into publishing additional brands, including Medical Daily, Latin Times, and Player. One, and Fashion Times. After experiencing remarkable growth and achievements with IBT, Etienne spearheaded the successful acquisition of Newsweek Magazine in 2013. Relocating to Newsweek's offices in Downtown New York, he and the IBT team made substantial investments in the publication's development and growth. Their efforts transformed Newsweek from an e-magazine into a fully-fledged news website hosted at its original domain, newsweek.com. Moreover, they reinstated the print edition, attracting attention to Newsweek's editorial content. By the end of 2014, Newsweek became profitable, solidifying its position in the industry. During this period, IBT experienced substantial expansion fueled by proprietary technologies that offered a competitive edge in digital publishing. The company recruited top-tier journalists, earning recognition through multiple prestigious awards, including six SABEWs, one Izzy, and three The Drum Online Media Awards.
