PEF100

The 100 leaders delivering the world’s defining projects.

An annual recognition of the people who decide, fund and deliver the projects that shape industries, cities and nations.

Delivery, not titles.

The PEF100 recognises leaders for what they have delivered: projects completed, portfolios transformed, and value proven.

It covers every discipline of the project economy, in every industry and every region.
