Cincinnati Power 100 / Most Influential Business Leaders

Overview

The Cincinnati Business Courier’s Power 100 list is an editorially selected ranking of the 100 most influential business leaders shaping the Greater Cincinnati regional economy. It is produced annually by the Courier’s newsroom (part of the American City Business Journals network) and is positioned as a who’s‑who of top corporate, civic, and institutional decision‑makers rather than a pay‑to‑play recognition. Companies and executives value inclusion because it signals regional clout, access, and impact in the Cincinnati business community.

Eligibility Requirements

• Senior business, civic, nonprofit, or institutional leaders whose primary sphere of influence is the Greater Cincinnati region
• Selection is made editorially by Cincinnati Business Courier editors; there is no formal public nomination or application process
• Typically limited to individuals with demonstrable regional economic, civic, or industry impact rather than early‑career professionals
