"The Most Creative People in Business 2019": Nothing gets Fast Company‘s editorial staff more excited than hearing about someone who’s having a genuine, positive effect on the world by doing something no one’s ever done before. All year long, through our reporting, research, and conversations, we encounter dynamic individuals like this, and once a year we celebrate 100 of them in our Most Creative People in Business issue. This year marks the project’s 10th anniversary.

Unlike similarly titled lists compiled by other media brands, ours is comprised of 100 people who have never before been profiled in our pages. And the bar is high. Each accomplishment must be wholly unprecedented, yielding a demonstrable impact. These visionaries work in every industry imaginable, from AI to fashion to primatology. More than half of them are women. Nearly a third are of color. And more than a quarter hail from outside the U.S. Together, they reveal where global business is headed.

We are delighted to share the stories from the top 30 selections in this edition with you.
