Now in its 12th year, the SIA list recognizes influential figures from firms worldwide whose contributions shape the future of workforce solutions. Adam Roth, CEO of Roth Staffing, credited Sexauer’s consistent recognition to her vision and commitment to fostering positive experiences for customers and internal teams alike. Under her leadership, the organization has maintained a strong national presence, operating across 20 states and the District of Columbia.

SIA President Ursula Williams noted that this year’s honorees prove that modern recruitment requires both technological adoption and talent development. The 2026 cohort will be formally celebrated during the Executive Forum North America, scheduled for March 2027 at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. The recognition program, sponsored by recruitment software firm Bullhorn, underscores the evolving demands placed on executives within the staffing sector.
