STEERING GLOBAL BUSINESS THROUGH A DEFINING YEAR
Welcome to our non-exhaustive list of some of the top leaders in global business. Featuring 100 chief executives who represent excellence across every major industry and continent, we hope you enjoy Business Chief’ s first ever Top 100 CEOs list. From engineers who never left the building to founders who built empires from a kitchen table, each of these leaders holds a story that carried them to the most demanding chair in business.

It has been a year of AI infrastructure races, record oil prices and a generational wave of succession at some of the world’ s most valuable companies. Through it all, these CEOs have set the pace rather than followed it. True leadership is more than a share price, and this list recognises what it is really about: the vision, conviction and stamina behind the companies that shape our world.
