Essential insights on geopolitics, business, AI, and society — delivered daily.
Maithreyi Seetharaman is a journalist, broadcaster and media executive with a 25-year career covering geopolitics, business and global affairs. She is the Founder and Editor of The Chief Brief, a global media and insight platform that amplifies women leaders from the geographies that drive the world's agenda but don't yet set it: Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Gulf, and Central and Eastern Europe.
Over a career spanning Bloomberg, CNBC, Euronews and Fortune Magazine, Maithreyi has reported, anchored and produced across the world's major financial and political stories. At Fortune she served as Director of Live Media International, shaping flagship convenings that brought together heads of state, chief executives and leading thinkers. Her work sits at the intersection of media, power and underrepresented voices, with a sustained focus on geopolitics, corporate governance and free speech.
She chairs the GLOBSEC Women Leaders' Council and is a sought-after moderator and host for international summits, forums and policy convenings across Europe, Asia and the Gulf. Her interviewees range from heads of government and Nobel Peace Prize winners to founders building the next generation of high-growth economies.
Through The Chief Brief, Maithreyi is building more than a publication. It is an insight network that connects overlooked women leaders in fast-growing markets to the established global networks and vice versa - opening doors to board seats, jobs and opportunity. The platform's editorial covers women's leadership, geopolitics, economic policy and the stories shaping power beyond the traditional centres of the US and Western Europe.
London-based and globally engaged, Maithreyi cultivates relationships across policy, media and diplomatic circles with strategic intent. Her conviction is plain: authority, amplified. Insight has no gender.
