Fifth Annual List Recognizes Leaders from Every Region, Key Industries

INDIANAPOLIS (July 21, 2026) — IBJ Media, the locally owned publisher of Indianapolis Business Journal, Inside INdiana Business and The Indiana Lawyer, announced today its fifth annual Indiana 250 list, identifying the state’s most influential business and community leaders.

The list, available at Indiana250.com, includes leaders from both public and private organizations across a wide range of industries and regions.

“The Indiana 250 celebrates and recognizes the contributions of Indiana’s boldest thinkers and doers shaping the future of our state,” said Nate Feltman, CEO and publisher of IBJ Media. “Now in its fifth year, the Indiana 250 has become the premiere celebration of those who are investing their talent and passion to make Indiana a great place to live and work.”

The list was compiled by IBJ Media executives, editors and newsroom staff following a months-long process of reviewing nominations, researching Indiana organizations and consulting community leaders across the state.

IBJ Media launched the Indiana 250 program in 2022, and 84 leaders have appeared on the list all five years.

“The people on this list are not just leaders in their fields, they are champions for their communities and catalysts for growth and innovation across Indiana,” Feltman added. “The Indiana 250 program enables us to foster connections among the honorees and amplify their collective impact for all Hoosiers.”

Among those returning to the list are CEOs of some of the state’s largest public and private companies, including David Ricks of Eli Lilly and Co., Gail Boudreaux of Elevance Health, Jennifer Rumsey of Cummins Inc., Dan Starr of Do it Best Corp., Scott Davison of OneAmerica Financial, Ken Zagzebski of AES, Pete Yonkman of Cook Medical, Jim Ryan of Old National Bank and Brent Yeagy of Wabash.

IBJ Media added nearly 60 new executives this year, including Brian Burdick of Barnes & Thornburg, Kelly Krauskopf of the Indiana Fever, Tina Peterson of Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County and Regional Opportunity Initiatives, and Dr. Cameual Wright of CareSource.

Elected officials are not eligible for the list.
