CEOs get the glory, but they're not the whole story
Non-CEO leaders are often the uncelebrated heroes of Canadian industry. They lead high-performance teams, execute core business strategies, and develop transformative new approaches for growth. The Report on Business magazine's Best Executives program is an annual initiative established to recognize and celebrate exceptional non-CEO leaders at the SVP, EVP, and C-Suite levels.
On Thursday, May 29th, The Globe and Mail proudly hosted an in-person awards show to honour and recognize the remarkable achievements of top executives across a wide array of industries. Held on the scenic 17th floor of The Globe's headquarters, the event buzzed with ambition and lively ambiance, as over 200 guests gathered to network and toast to excellence in leadership.
The night kicked off with a thought-provoking fireside chat between Dawn Calleja, editor of Report on Business magazine, and keynote speaker Dr. Rumeet Billan, who shared strategies for navigating uncertainty, cultivating resilience, and leading with intention and a flexible mindset during times of change.
