About Us Introduction CEO Monthly is committed to shining a spotlight on the best and brightest CEOs from wide range of regions and industries. With great excitement, we can now announce that we will be expanding our reach by adding a brand-new programme to our current awards portfolio! Being introduced for the first time in 2024 is the Canadian CEO of the Year Awards! Canada boasts a highly developed and diversified economy, which last year was ranked as the tenth largest GDP in the world. With over 1.3 million employer businesses across the country, it is the CEO’s role to lead these enterprises to growth and prosperity. Whether that be through overseeing short and long-term profitability, developing organisational strategies, fostering innovation, mitigating risks, or creating value for both customers and shareholders – these duties are imperative to the overall direction of a business, and come with both internal and external pressures. Some immediate pressures and concerns that CEOs in Canada are currently navigating include geopolitical tensions, supply chain instability, climate change, and integration of new technologies. Most Canadian chief executives are adjusting their strategies to stay competitive in these key areas. A study conducted by Ernst & Young reported that Canadian businesses are much more proactive regarding sustainability than their global counterparts, with almost half of the participating CEOs planning to invest in ESG as a top priority in the coming year. In another recent survey by KPMG, it was revealed that over seventy percent of Canadian CEOs are focusing on enhancing productivity, which is where digital transformation and emerging technologies such as generative AI come in. The majority of CEOs surveyed believe that investing in upgraded technology is necessary to keep pace with evolving customer demands, improve operational efficiency, and protect against cybersecurity threats. www.ceo-review.com
