π Everyone!
The CEO Short π started on restaurant napkin two years ago. Two buddies, Alex and Drew shared (and still do) a passion for business at it's highest level. But there was no place on the internet to compare, watch or learn from the best of the best.
So the list began. The list started by ranking (separately) our top 5 CEOs, and the justification(s) behind those choices:
- Who would win in a fireside chat, head-to-head?
- Who's achieved success at not just one, but multiple companies?
- Who's changed the π ?
- Etc, etc, etc
After about a year of debating our list on a weekly basis, something happened... Two more friends joined the weekly debate. And then two more.. And two more. In fact, as of May 2020, the list grew to 20 members! Needless to say, the rationale slowly began to evolve: Videos became incorporated to demonstrate the CEOs dominance on stage, even playoff brackets were formed!
Some called it the March Madness of Business Leaders π€£
(Fast forward - Today!)
We decided to take the The CEO Short π to the next level... We compiled a list of 100 Top CEOS for you to pick your top 5 from!
What you will find:
- Our Top 100 CEOs
- Videos to watch each CEO in action
- Ways to connect on social media
- Learn fun facts you probably never knew
Now, the catch is... The list only works with your help. Think of your input as the fuel to the engine that powers this locomotive. On the sidebar of the application, you will find ways to email us your Top 5! On the 1st of every month, new rankings, faces and content will be released accordingly to the prior 30 day voting window.
We have a LOT of ideas for the future, but right now we're keeping it simple.
In addition to the user-generated ranking leaderboard, we hope the CEO Short π can always be a source for you to watch and learn, from the best of the best.
We would love if you gave it a shot and let us know what you think! π Who knows... Maybe we'll see you on this list one day π
All the best!

Wow! What a great ππ Day! Thank you everyone for the early support!
It's hard to believe that the CEO Short π started as a passion project and now we're receiving responses on who your Top 5 CEO's are!
The great thing about this product is that it is designed to be interactive. Alex and I carefully curated this π of 100 to make sure that it wasn't just the people we admired and learned from, but the 100 most accomplished CEO's regardless of industry or public appeal.
BUT!
We know this list is not exhaustive, and we know that there are industry titans, CEO's, executives and founders that are not on this list. This is why we're so thankful that you've been eager to send us your personal π's, so that we can better incorporate these into future iterations of the product.
For those who are new, or haven't had the chance to send us your Top 5 CEO's - we look forward to hearing from you soon.
As always, if there is anything we can do to improve the product and your experience, we'd love to hear from you on PH or you can message us directly from inside the app.
Thank you again for all the π and support. Can't wait to see which CEO's show up next!
