Report on Business magazine has announced the winners of its fourth annual Best Executive Awards. Winners from grocery, CPG and food include:

• John Bayliss, EVP, chief transformation officer, Walmart Canada
• Ryan Ender, president & CFO, Grey Jay Sales & Distribution Ltd
• Andie Andreou, CFO, SkipTheDishes
• TJ Flood, president, Canadian Tire retail, Canadian Tire

The program celebrates non-CEO leaders at the SVP, EVP and C-suite (or equivalent) levels who are making an exceptional impact on their business and showing outstanding leadership skills. The 2023 winners represent the best of Canadian leadership in five functional areas: Finance; Human Resources; Operations; Sales and Marketing; and Technology.

“The Best Executive Awards are meant to showcase non-CEO leaders who go above and beyond for their organizations,” says Dawn Calleja, editor, Report on Business magazine. “Whether their accomplishments are personal or professional or, more commonly, a bit of both, they have lots to teach us about how to be better leaders and role models for all of corporate Canada.”

Winning executives were chosen after a call for nominations for Canadian leaders at public and private businesses, not-for-profits, associations, and academic institutions as well as nominations from the Report on Business newsroom. Nominations were assessed by the Report on Business editorial team based on career background, leadership style, achievements, and impact.
