In just two days, the Corporate Support Award standings could trigger a seismic shift atop the CEO of the Year leaderboard—unless one of today’s front-runners delivers a breakthrough performance to claim crucial points.
As it stands, the three CEOs leading the Corporate Support Award race will earn significant bonus points for both the CEO of the Year and All-Time Rankings leaderboards:
1st place: +4,000 points
2nd place: +2,000 points
3rd place: +1,500 points
Under the current scenario, Khalid Al-Gahtani would vault to +4,000, Abdulaziz Almasradi to +2,000, and Fouad Hassoun to +1,500. Even with those gains, Abdulaziz Almasradi would cling to first place by the narrowest of margins over Al-Gahtani. Farrukh Adeeb would slip from second to third, Omar Haddad would hold fourth, and Fouad Hassoun would surge from fifth into the top five—bumping Brian J. Esposito down to sixth.
But this is just the opening serve. With many CEOs set to see points expire as their one-year performance validations and vote tallies roll off, the leaderboard is poised for further turbulence. Unless today’s leaders secure fresh points—either through verified achievements or sustained vote support—they risk being overtaken by the rising challengers just below them.
In the high-stakes race for CEO of the Year 2025, every day counts. With the clock ticking and bonus points on the line, CEOs must either defend their turf or press forward with new initiatives—because in two days, everything could change.
