Portland Power 100 / Most Influential Business Leaders

Overview

Portland Business Journal’s “Power 100 / Most Influential Business Leaders” is an editorial list that spotlights 100 individuals shaping the Portland-area economy, business community, and civic landscape. It is produced and curated by the Portland Business Journal newsroom rather than through an open nomination or application process. The list is widely watched in the region as a barometer of leadership, influence, and connectivity across industries. Its credibility comes from PBJ’s independent reporting and editorial judgment rather than paid entries.
