Leaders50 List Citation

Ayala Corporation Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala has been named as one of the 50 organizational leaders in Thinkers50’s inaugural Leaders50 list. This biennial listing recognizes 50 inspiring global leaders who are making a positive impact in their organizations and fostering the development of the next generation of impactful global leaders.

Thinkers50, the first global ranking of management thinkers established in 2001, defines leadership as inspiring purposeful action that achieves remarkable outcomes. It evaluates leaders based on how they enhance their organization's performance while aligning with a clear vision, contributing to the economy, and advancing social and environmental sustainability. Leaders are assessed on their ability to act as positive role models, create a culture of trust and collaboration, and exhibit an effective leadership style that influences company culture and growth.

Furthermore, Thinkers50 looks at a leader’s capacity to build a lasting legacy through leadership development, enable individuals to thrive in a rapidly changing environment, and maintain a forward-thinking vision that drives the company’s success and sustainability.

Earlier in November, JAZA was announced as the winner of Ronald Jonash Innovation Lifetime Achievement Award. Presented by the Global Innovation Management Institute during the 2024 GIMI Innovation Awards in Barcelona, Spain, the award recognizes "individuals who have made a remarkable, sustained impact on the field of innovation throughout their career" and "demonstrated exceptional dedication, creativity, and success in driving innovation."
