Favorite quote: “I come as one but I stand as ten thousand.” — Maya Angelou

Fun fact: I have auditioned for two reality shows.

How do you unwind after a long day of work? After a long day of work I like to unwind with a hot cup of tea, a relaxing candle and smooth jazz.

What challenges have you faced in your career, and how did you overcome them? One of the greatest challenges I have faced while building my business and career is having limited financial resources and access to capital. I have overcome those challenges through innovation, strategic collaborations, my skills and knowledge, and build relationships that I have built.

What has been the most monumental moment of your career thus far? The most monumental moment of my career is being able to empower and make an impact on other women and people of color daily.

Who are your role models? My mom, Oprah, Beyonce and Michelle Obama.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever gotten? Network or not work.

What advice would you give a young woman at the start of her career? Dream big, be bold, add value to others and always be your authentic self.

How does being a woman has impacted your career? Being a woman and being a woman of color drives me to always be at my best because I know that I am paving a way and being a role model for other women so I try to perform with a spirit of excellence and be the best that I can be in all that I do.

Drew Limsky

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
