2026 Power 50

Hartford Business Journal’s seventh annual Power 50 list includes private- and public-sector, nonprofit, higher education, real estate and other professionals in Connecticut who are not only top leaders within their organizations but also of the broader business community.

HBJ’s annual Power 50 class was chosen by HBJ’s editorial staff. This is not an awards section. We identified newsmakers and movers and shakers who are having a broad impact within the state.
