Philadelphia Power 100 / Most Influential Business Leaders

Overview

The Philadelphia Business Journal’s Power 100 / Most Influential Business Leaders is an editorial list that spotlights the 100 most influential business, civic, and nonprofit leaders shaping the Greater Philadelphia economy and community. It is produced annually by the Philadelphia Business Journal newsroom and is positioned as a curated, non‑ranked power list rather than an application-based award. Organizations value inclusion because of the Journal’s strong regional readership and the list’s signaling of influence, reach, and leadership stature. Selection is based on editorial research and reporting rather than a formal nomination contest.

Eligibility Requirements

• Selection is determined by the Philadelphia Business Journal editorial team; there is no public application or nomination form for 2026
• Typically focuses on C-suite and top organizational leaders whose decisions materially impact the regional economy or key institutions
