Asia Business Leaders Award

CNBC pioneered the Asia Business Leaders Awards (ABLA) in 2001 to salute remarkable business leaders for their continuing commitment to excellence, developing best practices and innovative strategies. CNBC is proud to continue the 10 year tradition established by the Awards that define and celebrate vision, the spirit of achievement and excellence in business leadership in Asia.

The Asia Business Leaders Awards have distinguished and honored Asian leaders who have contributed and shaped the Asian economy. Recipients of the Awards are stellar individuals who are visionaries behind today’s outstanding businesses. They epitomize the core values of a successful leader – strength, innovation, ingenuity, knowledge and the foresight – values that are imperative to carving out powerful businesses in the global economy. Winners of the Awards exemplify the best in leadership.

"This year marks the 10th anniversary of CNBC's Asia Business Leaders Awards (ABLA).Since 2001, the awards have successfully garnered wide recognition and have gone on to become a premiere event for commendable business achievements in Asia Pacific. In the last decade, we've seen growth, volatility and uncertainty impact markets across the globe. During these times, we've also seen stellar individuals whose vision and strength has led corporate Asia forward. The 10th Annual ABLA aims to commend all the past winners over the last decade while also recognizing today's outstanding leaders who will dramatically impact the Asian story in the years ahead. I look forward to you joining us as CNBC celebrates excellence in business leadership."
