An Exclusive Evening: Canada’s Business Elite 40 Under 40 Honorees Take the Spotlight
An evening of elegance and achievement, the ceremony recognized Canadian honorees across industries, from technology and finance to healthcare and social enterprise, each of whom demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, and professional excellence before the age of 40.
The Fairmont Royal York, an architectural gem and one of Canada’s most iconic luxury hotels, offered the perfect setting for the occasion. With its grand ballrooms, timeless décor, and impeccable service, the venue underscored the exclusivity and significance of the evening.
“The moment I got to the 19th floor at this wonderful venue at the Fairmont, I could not just see and hear, I could feel the passion from every one of you,” said Rob Keyes, Editorial, Brand, and PR Director at ScreenRant. “I think that’s the real reason why you guys are all here.”
Another award recipient, Dan Drori, Executive VP of Sales & Marketing at Wyse Meter Solutions, noted: “Take that with you. Treat people with respect and you’ll go very, very far.”
“You are changemakers, and this is just the beginning. I am so excited to get to know you and to work with you - and to actually make a difference together,” said Sabrina Ladha, VP of Social Impact at GreenShield Cares.
“A smooth sea never made a strong sailor,” concluded Fahad Zaidi, Director of Software Engineering at Neo Financial.
As with every past edition, this year’s event remained uniquely intimate, with only honorees in attendance - allowing for a private evening of recognition, reflection, and meaningful connection among Canada’s rising business elite.
Each recipient was selected through a rigorous, merit-based evaluation led by Business Elite's independent Advisory Board. The process assessed not only career milestones, but also impact, leadership values, and future potential.
The Business Elite 40 Under 40 distinction has become one of the most respected accolades for young professionals in Canada and beyond. The 2025 class continues this legacy - highlighting the extraordinary achievements of a new generation of Canadian trailblazers.
As the 2025 celebration draws to a close, one thing is certain: the energy, ambition, and excellence showcased this year set a powerful benchmark for what’s to come. With each edition, the Business Elite 40 Under 40 community grows stronger, more connected, and more influential. As we look ahead to 2026, we remain committed to elevating Canada’s brightest leaders and celebrating those who are not only changing their industries - but shaping the future.
