Okay,here’s a revised list of Minnesota company leaders,updated as of today,January 26,2024,based on web searches. I’ve corrected inaccuracies and updated positions where changes have occurred as the original list was compiled. I’ve also noted where data is difficult to confirm (e.g., “On behalf of the association” for sports teams).
Important Notes:
* CEO Changes are Frequent: Executive leadership changes happen often. This information is current as of today,but is subject to change.
* “On Behalf of the Organization”: For sports teams, it’s difficult to pinpoint a single CEO-equivalent.I’ve left these as is, but noted the limitation.
* Interim/Incoming CEOs: I’ve noted where a CEO is interim or incoming.
* sources: I’ve relied on company websites, LinkedIn profiles, and reputable news sources (e.g., Star Tribune, Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal) for verification.
