The CEO Magazine has unveiled a veritable suite of impressive executives that made the finals for the 2017 Executive of the Year Awards.

The accolades celebrate the success, innovation and business prowess of individuals in corporate Australia.

Now in its sixth year, the 2017 Executive of the Year Awards — to be held on November 15 at Palladium, Crown Melbourne — is anticipated to be the biggest yet, with more than 550 guests and nominees attending from the country’s most respected brands.

With thousands of entries, 10 experienced judges from a range of industries have had another mighty challenge to determine the finalists in each of the 23 categories, including the pinnacle: CEO of the Year.
