Cover Story

11th Annual Top 50 CEO Awards
Eleanor Beaton, Alec Bruce & Kelly-Anne Meadus

Since 1999, Atlantic Business Magazine has dedicated one of its six issues per year to profiling Atlantic Canada’s most accomplished leaders. This year’s Top 50 CEOs come with a big socio-economic footprint, generating almost $14-billion in annual revenue, creating over 40,000 jobs, donating more than $20-million to charity and volunteering with 488 professional and not-for-profit organizations. And while that’s something to celebrate in the best of times, it’s even more noteworthy in our current economic climate.
