Bio
Matt Doxtator, CPA
Ian gets results. He took a struggling operation and turned into a profit generating, well-oiled machine. This feat alone warrants recognition, but what I think is even more impressive is how he did it. He was able to make difficult decisions and generate his team's buy-in at the same time. His ability to identify and cultivate talent is second to none and it can be seen in the loyal and highly capable staff he left in charge of ABF. He also changed the way we look at Albuquerque. He was honest when the news was bad and excited when there was something to celebrate. He created an environment that drew leaders from all sectors and industries together and facilitated the discussions we as a city and state have needed to have for a long time. Albuquerque was lucky to have him and the positive impact he made during his time here will remain long after his departure.

A transformative spark. That's how I would describe Ian Anderson during his time as Publisher of Albuquerque Business First. Ian, through his leadership as publisher and as a member of numerous nonprofit boards throughout Albuquerque, dared the city to rise above its problems and come into its own as one of the best cities in the U.S. Through editorial commentary, programming and leadership, Ian encouraged the city, its leaders and its business community to face the realities of our city and state and upon that reality create a plan that would create jobs, spur economic growth and showcase the valuable assets that are unique to Albuquerque and New Mexico. Ian made Business First the go to source of business related news in Albuquerque and New Mexico while making Business First events "must do's" on the calendars of every business leader across the state. In short, Ian is a dynamic and innovative leader and I believe that the city of Albuquerque and the state of New Mexico are better because of his leadership.
