The achievements and business leadership of five chief executive officers and two chief financial officers will be highlighted at Business in Vancouver's 2024 C-Suite Awards this October.
Recipients of BIV's BC CEO Awards and BC CFO Awards have demonstrated exceptional vision.

- Carla Guerrera, CEO, Purpose Driven Development

- Ernie Daniels, CEO, First Nations Finance Authority
- Jeff Norris, CEO, Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation

BIV will celebrate this inspiring group of executives at an in-person awards luncheon on October 23 in Vancouver. Tickets and event details are available here.
The event is supported by gold sponsor Fasken and silver sponsor CPABC.
"Our judging committee was impressed by the award winners' vision, the contributions they have made within their respective sectors and the impact their work has had in British Columbia," said BIV editor-in-chief Hayley Woodin Hastings.
"Between them, they are financially supporting millions of Canadians and businesses, meaningfully advancing economic reconciliation, helping lead some of the country's biggest and most successful organizations, building housing and breaking down stereotypes, and empowering transformational projects in health care."
For more than a decade, BIV has recognized the province’s top CEOs and CFOs at what has evolving into a combined C-Suite Awards event. Approximately 70 CEOs and 80 CFOs have been honoured since 2011.
This year's award winners were selected by a judging committee based on nominations and recommendations from BIV's audience and business networks, with applications supplemented by research led by BIV's award-winning editorial team.
Nominations for BIV's 2024 BC Export Awards and 2025 Influential Women in Business Awards are currently open.
