‘Once a Powerlistee, always a Powerlistee’

Over the years, we have featured more than 300 men and women
on the Powerlist. And even though each year we ‘retire’ some people
from the list to make room for new faces, we continue to respect the
achievements of everyone who has ever featured, holding tight to the
view: ‘Once a Powerlistee, always a Powerlistee’. So, we would like
to take this opportunity to salute everyone who has been featured
over the past 11 years, while also highlighting in a little more detail
some individual achievements. Ladies and gentlemen, here are our
wonderful Powerlist alumni in alphabetical order…
