Rising Stars: Microsoft’s Chris Young, The Home Depot’s Ann-Marie Campbell and American Express’s Anna Marrs
Our newest franchise showcases the next generation of bold executives that may be soon running some of the nation’s top companies.limpse into the future of business. The 50 members of the inaugural Forbes CEO Next list stand on the cusp of running America’s most influential and respected companies. None of the leaders here hold their company’s top job – yet. But these CXOs and division bosses are digitizing old-line industries, shaping taste and style, and building billion-dollar sustainability programs. One even led the development of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine. And they are prime candidates to soon be taking the CEO spot either at their current company – or somewhere else.
To create the unranked list, we turned to the expertise of the Forbes editorial staff and the insight of top leadership consultants and talent professionals. The finalists were then chosen by Forbes editors and our panel of independent judges.Alan Fleischmann
