We are thrilled and honored to announce the nominees for the 2025 Business Transformation 150 (BT150). The executives named on this year’s BT150 exemplified outstanding leadership and disruptive innovation over the past twelve months.

In today's fast-paced business environment, disruptive and innovative technologies like Generative AI, automation, and machine learning are playing a crucial role in accelerating digital transformation across all industries. As a result, digital leaders who possess unique expertise in these cutting-edge technologies are taking on more responsibility and earning their seat on the executive leadership team. Several of these leaders have even been promoted to the CEO position, thanks to their ability to balance stakeholder and shareholder interests with a clear focus on driving innovation and growth. We're excited to announce that the 2025 BT150 includes several new members who embody these shared traits of digital leadership and are at the forefront of using these technologies to drive their organizations forward.

Over the past six months, BT150 nominations have been submitted by peers, industry influencers, technology vendors and analysts. It was a vigorous process to determine the final listing, and we are excited to recognize the executives today and at our fourteenth anniversary of CCE.
