Steve Wanamaker

Publisher and CEO

In 1998, Steve and Kim Wanamaker took out a $20,000 loan on their home and started a small print magazine out of their spare bedroom. That investment eventually grew into CDO Magazine, the world’s leading publication for data and analytics C-suite executives. Today, this online magazine is read in over 200 countries and has a global readership of 400,000. CDO Magazine was launched through the company’s relationship with the MIT Chief Data Officer Community.
The company also produces conferences and hosts city-based technology communities throughout North America and produces global conferences with attendees from over 60 nations. Remaining true to their commitment to their hometown of Cincinnati, the company continues to print Venue, the city’s lifestyle magazine.
One of the publications the couple founded during their publishing career was Inspire Magazine. Wanamaker sold the publication to Gannett in 2004 when he was 34 years old, and he was recognized as a 40 Under 40 Award recipient. Gannett, a Fortune 500 Company, is a leading global media organization whose properties include USA Today.
Wanamaker is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati where he was a member of the ROTC program. Upon graduation, he received his commission as an officer in the U.S. Army, rising to the rank of captain. Wanamaker’s current board involvements include the UC Health Foundation and the FC Cincinnati Foundation (America’s newest Major League Soccer team). He also volunteers with the Princeton University Business Today Executive Speakers Program. He previously served as the co-director of the MIT Chief Data Officer Information Quality Symposium.
Wanamaker is a recipient of the West Chester - Liberty Chamber Alliance Businessperson of the Year Award, which is the organization’s most prestigious award given to recognize leadership and community impact. The Wanamakers have been happily married for 25 years and have three children.
