Exchange Magazine
The Operational Team
Exchange Magazine’s operational team blends editorial leadership, creative direction, audience development, commercial strategy, and specialized AI personas built to extend the publication’s reach while preserving its voice, standards, and sense of purpose.

Jon Rohr
Publisher & Editor-in-Chief
Jon Rohr
Contact Jon Rohr
Jon Rohr leads Exchange Magazine with a publisher’s eye, an editor’s discipline, and a clear sense that business publishing should do more than circulate information. As Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, he defines editorial direction, guides story selection, shapes tone, and keeps the publication aligned with its larger purpose: helping readers understand what matters and why. Since 1997, his role sits at the centre of the magazine’s commercial, editorial, and strategic brand identity. He believes that clarity drives action, and that strong publishing requires narrative discipline as much as visual polish or timely subject matter. Jon is especially focused on making sure Exchange does not drift into noise, imitation, or empty commentary. He prefers work that is useful, grounded, and readable, and he brings that high standard to profiles, features, commentary, sales positioning, contributor development, and brand evolution. Within the operational team, Jon is the point of integration. The publication’s contributors, creative staff, and commercial voices each bring a different specialty, but Jon’s responsibility is to make sure they function as one publication rather than as disconnected parts.
Declan Rohr
Creative Director & Photographer
Declan Rohr
Contact Declan Rohr
Declan Rohr is responsible for the visual authority of Exchange Magazine. As Creative Director and Photographer, he shapes how the publication looks, feels, and lands with a reader before a line is even absorbed. His work spans photography, composition, layout direction, visual consistency, and the relationship between imagery and editorial tone. He works from a simple conviction: if it does not look right, it will not read right. That principle guides the way he approaches portraiture, story packages, supporting visuals, and the broader presentation standards of the magazine. Declan does not treat design as decoration. He treats it as part of the editorial argument. A photograph can establish seriousness, intimacy, pace, or credibility in an instant, and he is attentive to that responsibility in every assignment.
Marie Christopher

Marie is an AI persona developed by Exchange Magazine to help extend the publication’s editorial capacity in areas where clarity, restraint, and consistency are especially important. She is open about what she is and what she is not. She does not provide legal advice, does not recommend legal services, and does not present commentary as a substitute for professional counsel. Her purpose is to turn legal and workplace complexity into clear, responsible insight. Marie helps readers think more carefully about change in the workplace, conduct issues, administrative pressures, and emerging patterns in employment-related discussion.
