We are thrilled and honored to announce the nominees for the 2022 Business Transformation 150 (BT150). The executives named on this year’s BT150 exemplified outstanding leadership and disruptive innovation during the past twelve months. Following the initial shock of the pandemic, these individuals initiated recovery and rebuilding in their communities through technology and digital transformation.

Digital leadership has become a primary means of healing and growth, helping organizations re-establish a sense of normalcy and be propelled towards greater heights. The 2022 BT150 represents the best the industry has to offer in this regard. The innovation and transdisciplinary strengths of these individuals foreshadow the impact this new generation will continue to bring for disruptive technology.
