Power 500 2024 will provide an updated catalogue of Western Australia’s most influential business and political leaders across all major industries, highlighting those who have risen to the top of their fields during the past year.
Scheduled for release in June 2024, Power 500 will be further strengthened by Business News’ online data platform, with industry lists appearing online and linking directly to profile pages for each of the 500 to reveal their business interests and connections.
This publication represents the culmination of a six-month research effort to refine the list of individuals walking the corridors of power in politics, commerce and culture in WA, using last year's Power 500 as a springboard.
For everyone across the 500, we ask what changed in their industry, business or personal development that enhanced, or diminished, their standing within the WA community over the past 12 months.
That sometimes looked like an obvious change, but in other cases there may have been a slower natural progression. Factors may have materialised, such as a promotion or a surge in interest in their industry, or they may have played a role in a pivotal event or a decision.
For some, influence is inadvertent, be it through legacy or established reputation. For others, it is simply by virtue of the organisation they represent.
We considered where they may be heading and why that makes a difference to WA to ultimately deliver a publication we believe captures the very top of business and politics in the state. |
