Recognition. Exposure. Celebration.
Recognising the best business leaders from around Australia, The CEO Magazine’s Executive of the Year Awards returns for its ninth year at The Star, Sydney on 12 November 2020.
As one of Australia’s premier business events on the corporate calendar, the night has become synonymous with shining a spotlight on the achievements of the business leaders who make this country great.
Coming together under one roof, an exceptional mix of successful executives and entrepreneurs will celebrate the inspirational leaders of the year. Previous winners of the pinnacle award, CEO of the Year, include David Hackett (for MLC Life Insurance) in 2019, Mark Nielsen (for Talent International) in 2018, and Michael Ebeid (for SBS) in 2017.
Why enter the Executive of the Year Awards?
