Phoenix Power 100 / Most Influential Business Leaders

Overview

Phoenix Business Journal’s Power 100 / Most Influential Business Leaders list is an editorial, invitation-only recognition of the most powerful and impactful business leaders shaping the greater Phoenix economy. Compiled by the Phoenix Business Journal newsroom (part of the American City Business Journals network), it highlights executives with outsized influence, community impact, and regional leadership. There is no open application; honorees are selected by editors based on reporting, nominations, and market knowledge, giving it the character of an editorial credibility signal rather than a pay‑to‑play award.

Eligibility Requirements

• Senior business leader or executive with significant decision-making authority in the Greater Phoenix area
• Leads an organization with substantial regional impact (economic, employment, or community leadership)
• Selected editorially by Phoenix Business Journal staff; no formal public nomination or application process
