2025 inductees represent the 4th class since we created the honor in 2022 to mark the 10th anniversary of the Forbes World’s Most Influential CMOs list.

In its first year, the CMO Hall of Fame recognized those chief marketers who had appeared on the Forbes World’s Most Influential CMOs list a minimum of five times since its inception. Since then, and on what would be the fifth year of a CMO’s inclusion on the Most Influential list, they are inducted into our CMO Hall of Fame.

An individual’s induction recognizes not just their enduring influence and impact on the brands and businesses they steward, but also their impact on our industry and, often, the commercial and cultural landscapes themselves.

Entering 2025, ten chief marketers had been recognized on the list four times previously and were thus eligible for induction. Of these ten, it is our privilege to induct six into the Forbes CMO Hall of Fame Class of 2025:

Each joins the 20 titans of our industry—and of business globally—inducted previously.

Given the massive changes to the landscape in which they compete and operate, being recognized on this list for what would have been a fifth time is an extraordinary achievement. We are grateful for their innumerable contributions to our community and the art, science, and practice of marketing.

For more on this year’s inductees as well as those from previous years, please read on.

The Forbes CMO Hall of Fame 2025 Inductees

Since being named Ferrari’s Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer in April 2010, Enrico Galliera has been stewarding the Italian luxury automotive icon’s brand and growth.

Throughout his tenure at Ferrari, Galliera has led the company’s marketing and commercial strategies, consistently maintaining a balance between the brand's undeniable exclusivity, one that goes beyond price alone, and fosters a strong sense of community among what the company refers to as “the Ferraristi,” while still driving extraordinary growth.

Ferrari has long been one of the most recognized and desired brands in the world, long representing craftsmanship and performance and a penultimate icon of wealth and luxury. Over time, Galliera and the Ferrari leadership team have limited the number of cars in production in order to foster a desire to become part of the Ferraristi sustained not just by the company’s remarkable brand and vehicles but by a curated and purposeful imbalance between supply and demand.

Prior to joining Ferrari, Galliera held numerous positions within Barilla Group, the Italian multinational food company, before ultimately becoming its Europe and export market unit director.

Galliera first appeared on The Forbes World’s Most Influential CMOs list in 2018.
