Chief Executives of leading Saudi companies honored during the Top CEO 2025 Awards ceremony at Argaam Summit 2026.
Argaam organized a special ceremony to present the second edition of the Top CEO Awards 2025 during the Argaam Summit, attended by senior financial sector leaders and executives from listed companies. 
The event celebrated executives who made a significant track record in their companies, as the award aims to promote institutional excellence and strengthen transparency and governance standards in the Saudi stock market.
Abedraboh Zidan, Head of Financial Data Statistics Manager at Argaam and Chairman of the Judging Panel, said this year’s edition saw strong competition reflecting the evolution of leadership practices in Saudi companies and executives’ ability to balance strong financial performance with ethical and professional commitments to shareholders.
Selection methodology and criteria
Winners were selected based on a methodology developed by Argaam team, with the judging panel relying on several core criteria, including:
· Leadership sustainability: Serving at least two years in the role to measure long-term impact.
· Financial and operational excellence: Achieving tangible growth in net profit, revenue and return on assets, while considering sector-specific challenges.
· Transparency and communication: Maintaining strong engagement with investors and analysts and adhering to Tadawul disclosure standards.
· Crisis management and innovation: Demonstrating the ability to turn challenges into growth opportunities and execute announced strategies efficiently.
To ensure neutrality, shortlisted candidates were reviewed by external independent partner GCC BDI, which assessed financial and operational performance as well as disclosure standards, particularly in sectors facing significant market challenges. Management efficiency in handling those conditions was also assessed.
GCC BDI is a regional non-profit organization focused on strengthening governance and professionalism in corporate boards through training and promotion of global best practices, with support from major regional companies.
