We are excited to announce our annual Ambient Experience 100 (AX100), an elite list of global executives focused on transforming both customer and employee experiences across their markets and their organizations. These leaders represent an exclusive cadre of rule breakers, peers and influencers willing to rethink possible.
They know what it takes to redefine business models, craft authentic experiences, break barriers and then some.
Our team collected nominations from peers, industry influencers, technology vendors, and analysts, and completed the comprehensive processes over the past six months. They looked for the following key traits and actions among the AX100 leaders:
- Thinking outside of the box and breaking the status quo through bold measures
- Activating and advancing experiences that understand and anticipate customers’ needs
- Recognizing and respecting that customers call the shots
- Making real impact by guiding their organizations to reinvent themselves and disrupt their industries
Congrats to this year’s AX100! They receive an exclusive invitation to the Ambient Experience Summit (AXS) in New York City and will be celebrated at the induction ceremony on June 1. These leaders will share valuable insights and lessons learned in their own transformations at the event.
