Chris Seper
Executive Vice President, Farm Journal
I am an innovative, entrepreneurial executive who creates media that matters. I founded my own B2B digital media startup and have served on leadership teams at multibillion-dollar publicly traded companies as well as some of the top B2B media organizations in the country.
Currently, I am the executive vice president of Farm Journal Brands at Farm Journal, the nation’s leading source of news, data, and information for the agricultural market. I oversee Farm Journal's audience center of excellence, which includes print, digital, and broadcast content; audience development; events; content studios; and digital product development.
Additionally, I serve on the board of directors at Breaking Media, which operates industry-leading B2B brands including MedCity News, Above the Law, and Breaking Defense. I also support the local news industry as a coach at Northwestern University’s Medill Local News Accelerator.
Moreover, I am passionate about supporting all forms of innovation, as well as contributing to the City of Chicago. I mentor startups at two of the city’s top business incubators, MATTER and mHUB, and teach as an adjunct professor at Roosevelt University.
