2025 Apogee Awards

A morning of standout leaders and standout moments captured at South Florida’s premier C-suite celebration.

The 2025 Apogee Awards brought South Florida’s top executives together on the morning of November 19 at The Venue in Wilton Manors, honoring a standout class of C-suite leaders who are shaping the region’s economic and cultural momentum. Hosted by South Florida Business & Wealth, the event celebrated not just individual excellence but the shared responsibility and collaboration that define modern leadership.

Apogee is unique in its approach: rather than spotlighting one role, it brings the full C-suite into the same room—CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CMOs, CIOs, CHROs, and more—to recognize the diverse strengths required to scale companies, create jobs, and move South Florida forward with purpose. This year’s honorees embody innovation, resilience, and a deep commitment to community.

The morning also highlighted what makes Apogee so impactful: connection. With leaders spread across three counties and countless industries, gatherings like this offer rare time to exchange ideas, build relationships, and spark collaborations. Many of the partnerships, mentorships, and friendships born at Apogee extend far beyond the event itself.

Months of research, nominations, and storytelling led to this celebration, made possible by our sponsors and the dedicated SFBW editorial and creative teams.

Congratulations to the 2025 honorees—we look forward to seeing what you build next.
