We choose top performers in five different areas. Each of the CEOs is a multifaceted leader who knows how to elevate a business

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.

Global visionary & CEO of the Year: Dollarama's Neil Rossy

Corporate Citizen of the Year: McCain’s Max Koeune

Newcomer of the Year: Laura Dottori-Attanasio of Element Fleet Management

Innovator of the Year: Mike Greenley of MDA Space

Strategist of the Year: Intact Financial's Charles Brindamour
