Report on Business Announces Winners of Best Executive Awards 2022
TORONTO (March 10, 2022)
Report on Business magazine is pleased to announce the winners of its third annual Best Executive Awards, which celebrates excellence among non-CEO leaders at the SVP, EVP and C-suite (or equivalent) levels.
The 2022 winners represent the best of Canadian leadership in five functional areas: Finance; Human Resources; Operations; Sales and Marketing; and Technology.
“As corporate Canada continues to adjust to the new realities of the 21st century, some things remain true—namely, the importance of bold leadership,” says Dawn Calleja, editor, Report on Business magazine. “The 50 winners of the 2022 Best Executive Awards embody that quality and more as they steer their respective teams through the pandemic and a changing economy, all while keeping an eye on the well-being of their teams and overall companies.”
Winning executives were chosen after a call for nominations for Canadian leaders at public and private businesses, not-for-profits, associations and academic institutions. Nominations were assessed by the Report on Business magazine editorial team based on career background, leadership style, achievements, and impact.
Winners of the Best Executive Awards will be featured editorially in the May issue of Report on Business magazine, out April 29 digitally and April 30 in print. Winners will also share their experiences and advice at an event on May 3.
