Saudi social media superstar Amy Roko has been appointed Acting Editor in Chief of Arabian Business. In recognition of International Women’s Day, the 30-year-old Saudi influencer will set the brand’s editorial agenda in both English and Arabic throughout the day.
“This is an opportunity for me to really set out the key priorities today that affect women all over the world. Being in control of Arabian Business is the perfect platform for to do that,” she said.
“I’ve been reading Arabian Business for a long time, but like many major news brands, I don’t feel it does enough to promote and champion the many issues that women face. This is an opportunity for me to change that,” she added.
One of Roko’s first acts was to dismiss Arabian Business‘s three most senior staff, as she began sweeping changes in her role as Acting Editor in Chief.
Roko asked Deputy Managing Director Anil Bhoyrul, Managing Editor Matthew Amlot and Arabian Business Arabic Editor Samer Batter, to leave immediately.
