About The Expert Index
Who publishes the magazine, who edits it, and how we use AI in the newsroom.

What we publish
The Expert Index is an independent magazine about coaches, consultants, speakers and advisory firms. We publish profiles of experts and firms, guides for buyers of these services, news from the field, and analysis built on published studies and data.
The site is written for people who have to make a decision: a founder choosing a coach, an HR director selecting an executive coaching partner, an event organizer booking a keynote, a company hiring a consulting firm.

What we do not do
We do not rank people, award places or sell badges. A profile describes what someone does and what is documented about their work. It is not a recommendation to hire them. Paid contributions are labeled as sponsored and appear separately from editorial work.
The editorial team
Our editorial personas are the named voices of the newsroom. Each one stands for a beat and a set of standards.
Margaret Osei, Research Editor. Writes the buying guides and evidence checks.
Tom Harker, Features Editor. Runs profiles and long-form pieces. Interested in how experts actually work, not how they market themselves.
Anika Rao, Consulting & Agencies Analyst. Covers consulting, advisory and agencies: fees, engagement models, and how buyers choose.
How we use AI
Our newsroom works with AI tools for research, drafting and checking. Every published text is edited against our style guide and checked for facts, sources and fairness before it goes live.
Persona portraits are illustrations. The person legally responsible for the content is named in the imprint.
