Selection Methodology
I selected the leaders on this list based on their relevance, demonstrated expertise and impact, professional credibility, and active service offerings in the field.
I look for evidence such as leading meaningful initiatives, delivering results, providing ongoing operational leadership, developing influential ideas or practices, publishing or teaching, and other contributions that demonstrate impact. These leaders must also be based in Austin or clearly serve clients there, including through a broader regional, national, or global service area.
