Meet our 2024 CEOs of the Year

Just when you think things can’t get crazier, another year of chaos hits us in the gut. So it was with 2024. But not even the mayhem could overshadow outstanding performtances from this year’s five CEOs of the Year—Global Visionary, Innovator, Newcomer, Corporate Citizen and Strategist—chosen after plenty of discussion among editors and reporters here at The Globe and Mail.

Our overall winner is Neil Rossy, whose meticulous attention to, well, everything has helped turn Dollarama into a darling of Canadian retail—one that does well in any sort of economy. Each year, ROB lauds the top innovator, strategist, global visionary, corporate citizen and newcomer. Meet the latest crop, including a potato magnate building the farm of the future, a retail savant and a space maven setting course for a top spot in the new space race.
