Glesni Holland is a Dubai-based editor with extensive experience across both print and digital media.
After graduating from The University of Sheffield in 2016 with a BA(Hons) in Journalism Studies, Glesni immediately launched her career with CPI Media Group in the UAE as deputy editor of the region's longest running enterprise technology publication, Computer News Middle East (CNME). During this time, she interviewed the region's leading C-level executives and represented CNME on a global scale at industry events, including IBM World of Watson Las Vegas, MWC Barcelona and Huawei Connect Shanghai. She also regularly hosted in-depth roundtable discussions with top CIOs and moderated panel discussions on-stage at client events.
Glesni then diversified her journalistic abilities to become digital editor of CPI Media Group's consumer division. This involved managing and producing all online content for the division's three consumer brands, namely BBC Good Food Middle East, Mother Baby & Child, and The Pro Chef Middle East. Building on Glesni's passion for all things food, she spearheaded BBC Good Food Middle East's online presence to ensure it became the go-to platform for UAE foodies - covering home cooking, dining out, chef interviews and travel reviews.
