Constellation Research has published its Business Transformation 150 2019 , its take on the 150 top corporate executives in achieving digital business transformation. I never know exactly how these "best of" are selected, but Constellation is well-connected to innovative digital companies and has a good read on them.

These are mostly corporate people, with less emphasis on early stage, though some of the companies represented have increased their venture activities in the recent past.
