    JeVon McCormick

    President & CEO with multiple honors

    JeVon McCormick

    JeVon McCormick is the former President & CEO of Scribe Media, a company that helps authors write, publish, and market their books. He served in this role from March 2016 to May 2023.1

    Under McCormick's leadership, Scribe Media was recognized as:

    • #1 Top Company Culture in America by Entrepreneur Magazine in 2018
    • #2 Best Companies to Work for by Texas Monthly and Texas Association of Business in 2020
    • Inc.'s Best Workplaces in 2022
    • McCormick himself was named Austin Best CEO by Austin Business Journal in October 2021 and received the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 Central South Award from Ernst and Young in June 20221

    However, in May 2023, McCormick announced his resignation as CEO in a LinkedIn post, taking accountability for recent layoffs, his own absence from the company during a difficult time, and poor communication with Scribe's employees, authors, and freelancers.2

    In his leadership philosophy, McCormick believes in "Putting People First" and emphasizes that leaders should serve their teams rather than command them. He rejects the traditional "boss-employee" dynamic in favor of an approach where everyone works together towards common goals.3

    Despite the challenges at the end of his tenure, McCormick's vision and leadership helped establish Scribe Media as a prominent player in the publishing industry. His commitment to company culture and employee empowerment left a lasting impact on the organization.
