Pittsburgh Power 100: Meet the region’s most influential leaders of 2025

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Business Times has named the 2025 Pittsburgh Power 100, a listing of the region’s most influential business leaders.

This is the sixth year we have pulled together this listing: We first introduced Power 100 in January 2020. The complete 2025 list is presented alphabetically below. Profiles will be published in the Feb. 14 weekly edition.

The Power 100 is not a ranking. Rather, it’s a compilation of influencers who, at this moment in time, are making an impact on the region and moving it forward. The editorial staff of the Business Times selected those who made the list, with input from the community at large. It does not include elected officials.

This year’s Power 100 leaders are:

Kevin Acklin, president of business operations, Pittsburgh Penguins
Dan Adamski, executive managing director, brokerage, and JC Pelusi, market director, JLL
Jennifer Apicella, executive director, Pittsburgh Robotics Network
Bill Artman, CEO, Giant Eagle Inc.
Jerad Bachar, president and CEO, VisitPittsburgh
Mamadou Baldé, market leader and managing director of Pittsburgh and West Virginia operations, CBRE
Leroy Ball, CEO, Koppers Inc.
Jenn Beer, president and CEO, Leadership Pittsburgh Inc.
Barãta Bey, president, African American Chamber of Commerce of Western Pennsylvania
Steve Blanco, president and CEO, MSA Safety Inc.
