World CEO of the Year 2025

CEO rankings are a league where leaders are ranked based on a combination of points earned from votes and verified performances. Rankings are available at Global, National, Regional, and Local levels.

STATUS: Active LEVEL: Global

Status Active with an asterisk means that the number of entities who joined the leaderboard has not yet reached the minimum threshold. This means that the leaderboard is active and entities can receive votes, but the winners will be awarded only if the minimum threshold is reached (min 20 entities).
