Business decision makers have always had to juggle between two contradictory goals: making their brands distinctive while at the same time making them central in their industry. Google in search engine and Tesla in electric cars, come to mind when we think of brands that maintain centrality and distinctiveness. These companies stand out from the crowd and avoid direct competition with widely popular companies because they excel in terms of consumer preferences, pricing, and the direction of innovation. Traditionally, decision makers have analyzed brand positioning and business performance as two separate yard sticks to measure growth rate, market share, and profitability.

The core operating strategy of management consulting has not changed in more than a century. It has always meant bringing in smart outsiders for a limited time and asking them to make recommendations for solutions to the most challenging issues facing their clients. Our December issue gives you a sneak peek into the world’s most prestigious consulting firms whose recommendations have changed the future of Fortune 500 companies. Apart from the cover story, our features, Green Revolution and Leadership Insights give a glimpse into the buzz around sustainability and succession saga that has ruptured Canada’s biggest family business.

Can a 20-year-old launch a startup? Yes, but it’s never so simple. While 40-year-olds may have years of more life experience to provide, your team, experience, and self-advocacy count more than your age. While speaking to successful founders for this issue, we found that age is simply a number. If you dream big, just go ahead and build whatever you want to – even if you fail. The sooner you understand that nobody is staring or judging you, the better off you’ll be. Time is always on your side. Because there are so many opportunities in this world, who will help you if you don’t?

Leadership today is defined by two major challenges. One is the necessity to balance an increasing number of contradictory demands (do more with less; innovate, think globally). The other factor is the unparalleled rate of “disruptive change,” which accelerates the interplay of these needs while also increasing the pressure on businesses to adapt. We wanted to capture the diversity of modern business, as well as the inventive ways people of all ages are creating their own entrepreneurial paths to support and nurture things they care about. We hope you enjoy our stories as much as we enjoyed interviewing these leaders!

Start-ups are frequently fraught with difficulties since the pandemic came around. Many companies are simply missing their stride, starting at an inopportune period, or developing themselves on an unsustainable business strategy. So, if you're ever down on your company prospects, take heed from the lives of these men and women in our March 2022 issue. Happy Reading!

Welcome to the year-end issue of Industry Leaders! While we were putting together this issue, we were thinking of ways in which readers could get a glimpse of the lives of entrepreneurs who’ve made it in recent years. Our Cover Story, “Entrepreneurs Under 30” celebrates savvy entrepreneurs who have been breaking the barriers of starting up a business in North America.

In Green Revolution, we celebrate the success of Hanna Hennig, CIO at Siemens AG,  who has successfully managed to lead sustainable business transformation. 

How will you end the year? It’s natural - take some time off work and enjoy a holiday to remember. We’re bringing to you the global destinations where travel tech is hot. 

We wish you a happy new year and lots of success. Happy reading!

Resilience, recovery and renewal – the three words that continued to help us wade through the Covid-19 crisis much of last year. This recovery comes with a renewed set of challenges for business leaders and teams. It demands profound resilience in the way we lead. What seems crystal clear from this herculean task is that a sense of purpose to live, learn and lead is needed more than ever. Our stories in the September issue of Industry Leaders highlight this recalibration as leaders move to the frontline and fight the fires. Each story of the recovery phase shows where business leaders set forth to reorient and rethink the future.

Happy reading!

The coronavirus crisis has shown us how this is not the time to default to a strategy of ‘less risk, more reward’ when considering the speed at which one may expect turnover to recover. It has posed some serious questions about leadership competencies and the vital role it plays in steering through a monumental change. We are well aware of the difficulties we’ll face – let’s be realistic, even fearless – just like the women in finance we’ve covered for our cover story.

This issue of Industry Leaders Magazine explores a range of special topics such as automotive revolution, fundamental supply chain changes in a post-COVID-19 world and many more in order to motivate and encourage this sense of entrepreneurial spirit among our dear readers.

To succeed in times of crisis, the leader of any organization must be able to answer the most crucial question “How to stay the course?” In today’s times, focusing on this question has become a necessity, because the organization’s activity often needs to adapt with the surroundings. Just ask this question to chief executives of today’s businesses. For them, it’s business as usual. Don’t believe us? Ask the men and women we’ve covered in this issue. 

From local cafés to conglomerates like Uber and Johnson & Johnson, companies have successfully pivoted during and after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Their recipe for survival is based off short-term survival and long-term resilience, the two traits very commonly seen in the most accomplished and astute entrepreneurs.

Each issue of Industry Leaders Magazine serves as an intellectual sift, igniting the global conversation about the people and ideas that matters most. Through world-class design and editorial excellence, we bring to you the best in leadership, innovation, culture, ethics and more. We also introduce you to the world’s most fascinating leaders and innovators, and dig deep on the subjects that matter most to the aspiring leaders of tomorrow. We know everything about finances, economics, investing and marketing. And soon you will, too.

In this issue, we look into the incredible lives of the richest self-made millionaires. They accomplished the seemingly impossible dream of making their fortunes before their 40th birthday. For our cover story, we’ve done a little digging to bring to you the stories of men and women whose legacy and achievements across science, technology, and culture, is what people around the world will always look up to.

For our cover story, we delve into America’s top schools for entrepreneurs. These colleges are creating value locally while also preparing aspiring entrepreneurs to create their own opportunities. 

For our more adventurous readers, you may be keen to hear about the most successful crowdfunded projects of the decade; these entrepreneurs have taken the risk to build products which have now become household names. 

Finally, we look at the rise of mass timber in building construction. Ever wondered what’s the tallest buildings of the future will look like?

As we head into Autumn, we at Industry Leaders are delighting our sweet tooth with unapologetically zeal. As the days get shorter and the trees begin to turn into colors, we’ve turned to something warm and indulgent to enjoy the crisp delights of the cold weather.

The arrival of colder weather doesn’t mean life stops. We can learn this from the Finns who not only survive it but enjoy it! The nation of thousands of lakes loves its sweet lights. Among them is Leipäjuusto or Juustoleipä, commonly referred to as the “Finnish Squeaky Cheese” that is eaten as a dessert, served cold or hot with cloudberry jam and vanilla ice-cream. Pair it with a hot cup of joe and you’ve got something unquestionably autumnal. You can read more on such delights from over the world in this issue.


Technology has influenced almost every industry today and Real estate is no exception. For this issue’s cover story, we selected the most influential real estate agents in North America who gave us insights into the real estate industry and the technologic forces at work within the industry. 

The world lost an artistic genius on May 16th. I.M. Pei, the mind behind the iconic glass pyramid outside the Louvre in Paris, died at age 102. He was considered as one of the greatest modern architectures. Young Guns features a candid conversation with two distinguished architects of our time who helped us better understand sustainable architecture. 

Sustainability is the buzz word these days and very rightly so. Crowdfunding and Green Revolution will introduce you to a visionary green startup and Germany’s predicament pertaining to its energy policies. From Germany we go around the world acquainting our readers with the world’s top business destinations in Big Ticket. 


Corporate responsibilities are now far beyond responses to regulation-induced business dynamics. In other words, innovation must not only be inspired by already existing limitations in an ecosystem or restricted to circumvent regulatory penalties. By the way, most groundbreaking business ideas require new approvals, with some of them forcing governments into adopting new or readjusting their business laws. However, ultimate ideas do address even imminent challenges as seen today; many entrepreneurs/companies are going green with no compulsion. 

After a new year comes and goes, every business executive has the future on their mind. Ambitious sales projects, marketing campaigns, and other business activities are among the top priorities as they launch into 2019. But, the question is: how likely is their industry to be disrupted? One can only answer when they think about major industry shifts and new innovations that will significantly impact the way their business operates in the year ahead.

Companies tend to be cautious capital reallocators. They put more of their resources towards the same activities each year, even though evolving strategies tend to deliver better business results – particularly during volatile times. One of the things we noticed when we looked at the top ten CFOs of the world is their extraordinary ability to forge better links between resource allocation and strategy. They understand one thing: the best way to help their companies is to spend more time on strategy development. In the case of one of the world’s largest beverage company, the CFO set up a council to discuss growth opportunities, strategic issues, and M&A strategy. Together, the council was able to aggressively challenge the status-quo attributed to running the corporation and set aside a defined amount for surmounting business needs. This was a result of the foresight and trusted collaboration of the CFO and their teams. What we’ve heard from these CFOs is an attitude of “plough through, complex problems.” Say “yes” to greater opportunities – ready or not.

On our list of World’s Top Real Estate Leaders you’ll find CEOs, high earners, start up founders and disruptors. From experimenting with apps to battling rising rents, theirs are the leadership stories you’ll want to read and share this year. It’s a list of leadership stories, big and small; controversial and the lesser-known ones, the old-school and the new.

Bill Gates’ approach is emblematic of a growing trend of impact-focused investors that are emerging from all corners of the world. Between 2010 and 2017, emerging markets and developing economies have witnessed an increase in the number of young world leaders actively engaging in philanthropy. Today’s young business leaders are acting more like investors in philanthropic initiatives than traditional philanthropists. These leaders are closely connected to their communities’ problems, and are making smart, data-driven investments in both socially-driven initiatives and nonprofits. In some ways, they resemble Wall Street venture capitalists. New world philanthropists are using their wealth in very specific ways to their impact-driven business plans; in a similar way they did in the world of business. As capital is created, more philanthropists are emerging, dedicated to promoting impact-driven initiatives in their communities – and they are poised to continue to do so in coming years.

On the Wall Street, ‘money talks’. Many believe hedge funders have had a horrible year, but that can’t be true. From banking to buyouts, movers and shakers in the world of finance have tried to bring balance in what happens to be a very tumultuous year. These hedge fund managers, lenders and private equity moguls are a far more vocal and influential group than any other on the planet. They do not just control people or resources, but are a potent combination of money and influences that is much needed to shape the world. They control trillions of dollars around the global economy, which impacts about all of us in one way or another. The true outliers make day-to-day decisions that affect millions, shake industries and change economic power. Industry Leaders Magazine has compiled a list of top leaders in finance industry – billionaires, CEOs, and heads of state. Read on to see the full list of Leaders at the Helm of the Finance Industry! 

The most prestigious B schools in the world obsessively pursue money. This ideological underpinning has led to the arsenal of junk-bond-induced takeovers of the 1980s; the corporate accounting scandals of the 2000s; the outrageous increase in the pay gap between chief executives and workers; and even the real estate crash and the 2008 financial crisis. Just about every premise of this teaching model that dominates B schools’ curriculum needs to be punctured; and the sooner the better, before much damage is done. Business graduates focus far too much on maximizing shareholder value and have a limited understanding of ethical and social considerations essential to the core of business leadership. B Schools need to gain a rebalance so business graduates devote overwhelmingly on not just the financial aspects of the business, but also on ‘prudence’. This requires an education in moral reasoning. Do we have time for that?



This is a challenging time to a business leader. Around the globe, the economic roller coaster is far from over. The political uncertainty has taken a toll on long-term business planning. Back in the United States, shareholder activists have become powerful critics of business leaders. It’s a tough time to be a C.E.O in particular, which explains the 2015 turnover among global C.E.O.s, which reached a record high of nearly 17 percent. 
Against this backdrop, it’s heartening to see a group of high-performing C.E.O.s. This year, we have ‘Most Unsung Iconic C.E.O.s of All Times,’ a great illustration of the many ‘unsung’ business leaders who have successfully steered the company through adverse times. Happy reading!

Innovation comes from cold-eyes analysis of existing problems. More often, it comes from an unexpected failure, and yet businesses dismiss them, and even resent them. In this issue, we’re showcasing how our view of things can create opportunities for innovations. While innovation requires knowledge, ingenuity and focus, far more than that, it needs the ability to engage through real problems to create real solutions that can have an immediate impact. Plunge In! 

Happy Reading! 



In the time it could take a company to get that much-awaited bump in total valuation, which can at least take 6-12 months, rival companies are out there focusing and executing on expanding their business, of course, with the capital to carry out the same. A company, meanwhile, spends countless of hours while fulfilling data requests and attending meetings with potential investors. Companies seeking for funds are starving of cash that they require for growth, especially at the juncture in the timespan, which is most critical to the growth. Well, so much of fishing is not a great outcome.

History shows businesses that don’t take advantage of the growing prevalence and constancy of trends end up on the path of complacency. The future won’t build itself, and that is the harsh reality.

Today, businesses are observing that the capabilities of cloud computing continue to expand exponentially. A global survey of nearly 1,500 businesses and technology leaders noted that the majority - 85% - said their organizations will be using “cloud tools moderately to extensively over the next three years”. Topping the list of accelerants is supply chain management.
