About the Global CEO Excellence Awards
CEO Monthly is thrilled to unveil the Global CEO Excellence Awards 2024, returning for an eighth consecutive year to honour the world’s most distinguished CEOs. This esteemed awards programme is dedicated to leaders who have demonstrated exceptional prowess, steering their organisations toward growth, innovation, and success despite the ever-changing business environment.
The Global CEO Excellence Awards 2024 targets visionary leaders who have not only made significant contributions to their firms but have also set new benchmarks in their respective industries and communities. We aim to spotlight those who have embraced agility and flexibility to adapt to rapidly evolving market conditions, ensuring their organisations stay ahead in the competitive landscape.
In 2024, CEOs are tackling an intricate landscape, with key concerns including the ascendancy of generative AI, heightened cybersecurity threats, and increased accountability in leadership. A significant portion of CEOs fear their businesses might not survive the next decade without adapting to emerging challenges like sustainability and AI innovation. Cybersecurity is paramount due to escalating ransomware incidents and IoT vulnerabilities. The demand for experienced leadership is rising, as performance accountability becomes critical. CEOs are focusing on business optimisation and talent management to navigate economic volatility.
Despite global economic uncertainties, there’s a cautious optimism for growth, though CEOs are wary of megatrends that might render current business models obsolete. This period demands strategic foresight in leveraging technology for growth, emphasising the critical role of AI and addressing talent shortages to maintain a competitive edge.
CEO Monthly is committed to fostering a culture of excellence and leadership across the global business community. By organising these awards, we provide a platform for celebrating the achievements of those who are not only driving their businesses forward but also setting exemplary standards for future generations of leaders.
The benefits of taking part in the Global CEO Excellence Awards 2024 are numerous. If you are successful in this year’s programme, you will be presented to our circulation of 48,000 and promoted on our official website for a minimum of 12 months.
In addition, our awardees are welcome to choose from our range of competitively priced promotional opportunities to increase exposure of the good news!
The awards process is very simple! CEO Monthly welcomes external nominations from anyone who wishes to put forward a deserving individual for consideration. Alternatively, CEO Monthly also conducts its own independent research to identify potential candidates for recognition. The research team uses various sources of publicly available information to evaluate the performance and reputation of each nominee. The research team then presents its findings to our judging panel, who make the final decision on who will be successful in this year’s awards.
Participating in the Global CEO Excellence Awards 2024 offers unparalleled recognition and exposure among an elite network of business leaders. It’s an opportunity for CEOs to showcase their achievements on a global stage, gain insights from peers, and celebrate their success stories with a worldwide audience.
As we anticipate another challenging year with slow growth and economic uncertainties on the horizon, recognising and celebrating leadership excellence is more important than ever!

Methodology
Researching our nominees
The CEO Monthly team work ardently to identify great business leaders, driving many of the nominations themselves. We also encourage external nominations via the subscribers of the magazine, online visitors, social media followers, clients and wider circulation. Nominating parties are invited to put forward either CEOs of third-party businesses whom they hold in high regard, or the CEO of the business which they are a part of.
Shortlisting our nominees
All nominees are formally requested to accept their nomination. Should any firm or individual rather decline at this point, they are simply taken out of the running. Those formally accepting are given the opportunity to submit additional materials in support of their nomination. Although there is no obligation to complete and supply material, we have found that many nominees value this stage, in the process, as much as our research team do.
Evaluating nominees
Our dedicated research team will assess all information presented to them. The team gather information independently from a variety of publicly accessible sources, which are assessed alongside any material supplied by a nominating party or the nominee themselves. The research team casts their final judgment, based on various criteria such as: business performance whilst the CEO has been in the position, any dramatic or positive change within the business since the CEO took the helm, feedback from any stakeholders during this time and any new innovations within the timeframe.
Our lucky winners
Once winners are selected, they are personally notified before any public announcement is made, allowing time for any communications throughout the wider business and the coordination of marketing strategies. Unfortunately, not everyone can be a winner; however, all who take part are encouraged to come back next year. Once the press embargo is lifted, details of our award winners will be made public via the website, award winners’ magazine and subscriber newsletter.
Share the exciting news
We are prepared to offer a range of promotional packages and items to winners in the Global CEO Excellence Awards, which vary from inclusion in the free-of-charge winners’ directory, to trophies, content in our magazine and on our website.
We encourage all winners to publicly announce their win independently in order to gain maximum exposure for them personally and for their business. Announcements via company websites, social media, via publicly released press releases, and through local and national press are all great ways of maximising the exposure which can be gained from such a great achievement. If you have need of further advice, on how to publicise your win, please feel free to get in touch. We are happy to assist our clients with their needs.
The Nomination Team can assist with answering any queries that you have regarding a nomination, or the process involved in taking part in one of our award programmes.
