Business Leader Interviews by Mark Derho for Resident Magazine
Contributing writer for Resident Magazine exploring leadership philosophy, business strategy, innovation, personal journeys, and the decisions that shape successful organizations.
Exclusive One-on-One Conversations with CEOs, Founders & Industry Visionaries
As a contributing writer for Resident Magazine, I have the opportunity to sit down with entrepreneurs, CEOs, founders, investors, and innovators for in-depth conversations that go beyond company press releases. These interviews explore leadership philosophy, business strategy, innovation, personal journeys, and the decisions that shape successful organizations.
Unlike traditional media interviews that focus on announcements, these conversations uncover the people behind the companies—their vision, challenges, lessons learned, and what’s next.

Why These Interviews Matter
The best business stories aren’t about products.
They’re about people.
Every CEO, founder, and entrepreneur has a unique perspective shaped by experience, setbacks, and bold decisions. These interviews preserve those stories while offering practical insights for executives, business owners, investors, and future leaders.
Interview Style
Every interview is conducted as an editorial feature rather than a promotional profile.
My goal is to discover:
- The leader behind the company
- The philosophy that drives decisions
- Lessons learned through success and failure
- Emerging industry trends
- Advice for future entrepreneurs
- The vision shaping the next decade
Readers gain authentic insight instead of marketing copy
