About the Global CEO Excellence Awards
CEO Monthly is proud to announce the much-awaited return of the Global CEO Excellence Awards 2023, coming back for its seventh consecutive year. Our prestigious awards programme celebrates CEOs who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and success in their respective fields.
CEOs face increasing challenges to stay competitive, with nearly 40% of those surveyed believing their companies will become economically unviable if they continue on their current path. In 2023, agility and flexibility are essential traits to meet rapidly changing market conditions and customer needs.
The Global CEO Excellence Awards 2023 is a unique programme designed for visionary leaders who have made significant contributions to their companies, industries, and local communities. CEO Monthly strives to recognise the efforts of CEOs in driving their businesses forward despite the challenges they face.
We pride ourselves on our impartial research process, which allows us to recognize and celebrate the achievements of exceptional CEOs around the world. Our team of experts gathers information from a variety of publicly accessible sources and evaluates nominees based on their accomplishments, reputation, and commitment to their missions and values in business. This information is then assessed by our esteemed panel of judges to determine the deserving winners of our awards. Additionally, any material supplied by a nominating party or the nominee themselves is taken into account during the evaluation process.
Our award recipients can leverage the CEO Monthly brand to promote their success to our global audience of over 60,000 influential CEOs. The recognition of a Global CEO Excellence award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of outstanding leaders, and we are proud to provide them with a platform to showcase their achievements to the world.
In addition, our awardees are welcome to choose from our range of competitively-priced promotional opportunities to increase exposure of the good news!
As CEOs globally say slow growth and a recession are their number one external worry of 2023, it’s essential that we continue to recognize and celebrate the achievements of those driving their businesses forward. Taking part in the Global CEO Excellence Awards 2023 is an opportunity for CEOs to gain recognition on a global platform and to share their success stories with other business leaders around the world.

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.
