Most Empowering Business Leader to Watch 2026
In a business landscape shaped by rapid change, technological disruption, and evolving expectations, Richard Barrett offers a compelling perspective on what it truly takes to build a lasting organization. Drawing on three decades of work in values-based leadership and organizational transformation, he challenges the traditional idea that growth and financial performance should stand alone as the measures of success. His approach places human values, cultural coherence, purpose, and self-awareness at the foundation of entrepreneurship. Through his latest book, The New Entrepreneur, Barrett explores how leaders can align their inner values with the cultures they create, use technology to strengthen rather than diminish human contribution, and build businesses where commercial success and meaningful impact reinforce one another. His philosophy presents a timely vision of leadership for those seeking to create organizations that are not only successful, but resilient, purposeful, and capable of making a lasting difference.

Product Security Leader Advancing Agentic AI Application Security in 2026.
As artificial intelligence transforms the way software is built, cybersecurity must evolve at the same pace.

Drawing on experience securing billions of Android devices at Google and leading enterprise security initiatives, she champions automated, high-fidelity security frameworks that make protection part of the development process rather than a final checkpoint.
