Pete Bosilkovski Dual Finalist In The CEO Magazine’s Executive of the Year Awards
Pete Bosilkovski, CEO of Leo Burnett Sydney has been announced as a finalist in both CEO of the Year and Media Executive of the Year categories at The CEO Magazine’s Executive of the Year Awards.
Australia’s most prestigious business awards event, the Executive of the Year Awards recognise the individual excellence of senior executives. One of the most hotly contested events for Australia’s leading executives, the awards do not celebrate a company’s success, but rather the exceptional contribution made by the CEOs, managing directors, and senior management who drive Australia’s greatest organisations.
Pete Bosilkovski, CEO Leo Burnett Sydney, said: “I am honoured to have been named a dual finalist at The CEO Magazine’s highly coveted Executive of the Year Awards. Over the past year in my role as CEO, I have focused on transforming our business from an advertising agency to a creative solutions company, with innovation at its core.
“I strongly believe in the power and value of our innovation-centric evolution strategy and I am exceptionally proud of our entire team for all that we have achieved as a business.”
In its fifth year, The CEO Magazine’s Executive of the Year Awards night is to be held on 24 November at Four Points by Sheraton, Darling Harbour, Sydney.
