Phoenix names 2026 Titan 100 honorees

Titan CEO and Alerus announced the 2026 Phoenix Titan 100, recognizing 100 top CEOs and C-suite leaders across the region. The class, which represents more than 60,000 employees and over $10 billion in annual revenue, will be honored Sept. 24 in Phoenix.

Why it matters: - The Phoenix Titan 100 spotlights executives whose companies collectively employ more than 60,000 people and generate over $10 billion in annual revenue. - The list is meant to identify leaders shaping growth, innovation and community impact across the Valley. - The program also creates an ongoing network for honorees to connect throughout the year.

What happened: - Titan CEO and headline sponsor Alerus announced the 2026 Phoenix Titan 100 recipients on June 24, 2026. - The program recognizes Phoenix’s top 100 CEOs and C-suite executives. - Honorees will be profiled online and included in a limited-edition Titan 100 book. - Titan CEO will honor the class at an awards ceremony on Sept. 24, 2026, at Chateau Luxe Event Venue in Phoenix.

The details: - The Titan 100 selection criteria include exceptional leadership, vision and passion. - This year’s class spans construction, marketing and advertising, financial services, food and beverages, information technology and services, and nonprofit sectors. - The awards event will be a cocktail-style gathering designed for celebration, camaraderie and networking. - Titan CEO also will recognize the Titan 100 Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for 10 honorees. - Titan award recipients can appear on the Titan 100 list up to three years. - Hall of Fame selection requires on-camera interviews and live questioning before a judging committee. - The Titan 100 program operates in 12 markets nationwide. - The program recognizes private and public sector executives and publishes them in the Titan 100 book. - More information is available at the Titan 100 website.

Between the lines: - The Hall of Fame requirement raises the bar beyond the annual list and turns repeated recognition into a test of consistency and composure. - The breadth of industries suggests the Phoenix business community’s leadership base is diversified, not concentrated in one sector. - Alerus’ sponsorship and the event format point to the Titan 100 as both an awards platform and a business-networking venue.

What's next: - Titan CEO will publish the honorees in the Titan 100 book and online. - The 2026 Phoenix Titan 100 will gather again on Sept. 24 for the awards ceremony. - Honorees will have multiple opportunities to connect with fellow Titans خلال the year.

The bottom line: - The 2026 Phoenix Titan 100 is both a recognition list and a regional executive network, with the biggest payoff arriving at the September ceremony and through year-round access.
