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.
