The Houston Business Journal has named this year’s honorees for its Most Admired CEO Awards.
These 49 CEOs were chosen by members of the HBJ staff for their career achievements and leadership skills. The honorees represent a range of industries and nonprofits, including law offices, an amusement park, fine arts, education and health care. The CEOs are pillars of the Houston business community and demonstrate a dedication not only to their field but also to the community through serving on various nonprofit boards and volunteering.
One CEO started his company by borrowing $800 and setting up shop in a shack in his backyard, while another honoree’s company was the ninth Black-owned business to ever be listed on Nasdaq.
