We are pleased to present the list of the top 140 business leaders in New Jersey, representing an exceptional group from every region of the state. Inclusive of the Top 30 released on Oct. 3, these individuals have been chosen for their impressive achievements, strategic foresight, and significant impact on their respective industries and communities.
-
Only one leader was selected per organization, unless there was clear shared leadership.
-
Leaders of chambers, associations, and nonprofits (excluding hospitals) were not considered for this list.
We will recognize these leaders at the second annual Champions of the C-Suite event on Dec. 4 at the Hanover Manor in East Hanover. We hope to see you there!
