Nashville Business Journal combines Most Admired CEO, C-Suite awards programs
The Nashville Business Journal is shaking up its awards season with a reimagined event to recognize Greater Nashville's most impressive executives.
Great leaders know it's difficult, if not impossible, to get anything done alone. It takes a team.
The most talented leaders surround themselves with even more talented leaders to maximize their results, their success and their impact. While chief executive officers get much of the credit for their companies' achievements, the best among them are quick to point to their leadership teams — those trusted advisers who play essential roles in making such achievements happen.
We are excited to announce that we are bringing together two of our longstanding event programs to shine a brighter spotlight on the importance of leadership across the C-suite.
The Nashville Business Journal's reimagined C-Suite Awards will celebrate top executives across Greater Nashville — those who are driving growth, solving problems, building partnerships and making a significant impact in our business community.
We are combining our former Most Admired CEOs and C-Suite Awards programs into one, a high-level celebration that will recognize excellence in leadership. The new program will recognize leading CEOs, as well as chief financial officers, chief operating officers, chief information officers and other C-level executives who are the key decision-makers inside Nashville companies.
Alongside Presenting Sponsors First Horizon Bank and LBMC, NBJ is proud to host its 2025 C-Suite Awards on the evening of Dec. 10 at the Country Music Hall of Fame. This will be the premier event of NBJ's awards season, bringing together top executives from Nashville's most influential companies.
Our honorees will be chosen by a panel of judges comprised of Greater Nashville business leaders, including members of the NBJ's Power 100 list of the region's most powerful business leaders.
Nominations for the 2025 C-Suite Awards are open until May 15. This is a great way to recognize your company, clients or partners by showcasing their executive leadership. Go to the Nominations tab at the top of NashvilleBusinessJournal.com to nominate a deserving leader today!
We'll celebrate our winners at the December event and also in a special publication in the Business Journal.
As Nashville continues to grow at a record pace, leadership remains critical to our trajectory. The Business Journal's mission is to connect those business leaders. If you want to be inspired by executives who make Music City a better place to live and do business, this will be your must-attend event. I look forward to seeing you there.

Lawmakers sit back to watch Trump-Musk blowup drama
Members of Congress are sitting back and watching the show. The bromance that's captivated Washington for months — President Trump and Elon Musk — blew up on Thursday, a breakup between the world's most powerful man and richest person that is leaving the White House's legislative agenda hanging in the balance. The implosion played out in public: Trump — in his first remarks since Musk trashed the 'big, beautiful bill' as 'a disgusting abomination' — said 'Elon and I had a great relationship; I don't know if we will anymore' and suggested his opposition was rooted in the legislation's elimination of incentives for electric vehicles. Musk called that statement 'false.' And it unraveled from there. Musk went on a tirade against Trump on X, the social platform he owns, arguing Republicans would not have won elections in November without his help, backing Trump's impeachment, and claiming that the president is included in the Epstein files — which is the reason they have not been released in full. Trump, meanwhile, took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to call Musk 'crazy' and threaten to terminate his government subsidies and contracts. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill, meanwhile, are basking in watching the breakup play out on the big screen. Some are offering solutions for working through the drama. Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) shared a Spotify playlist named 'the ultimate breakup playlist' on X, writing 'Thought you could use this @realDonaldTrump.' 'Break ups are really hard but I sure do love watching the one between … Trump and Musk play out publicly,' she added in a separate post. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), meanwhile, is looking to take the drama from C-SPAN to Bravo: The Florida Democrat made a public plea to Andy Cohen to host a reunion episode for 'The Real Housewives of the West Wing,' featuring Trump, Musk and a host of other top administration officials. 'So @Andy and @BravoTV Can you produce the Reunion show?' he wrote on X. 'Only @Andy can solve this.' The famed reality television guru, for his part, is in: 'LET ME HOST THE REUNION!' Cohen wrote on X, with an American flag emoji. The unsolicited offering of ideas was not limited to Democrats. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), who was one of two Republicans to vote against the megabill last month — and praised Musk's criticism of the legislation — wrote on X, 'I would love to host a private dinner among friends,' inviting Trump, Musk, Vice President Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), the other GOP 'no' vote. 'Tomorrow night, maybe?' he quipped. The menu is already set — 'probably some red meat,' Davidson later told reporters — and at least one guest is in, under one condition. 'As long as he takes all the sharp silverware off the table I'll be there,' Massie said. 'We need sporks.' Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) summed up the sentiment among several lawmakers with a short post in response to Musk's claim about the GOP's election victories featuring just the popcorn emoji. In a separate post, he channeled Taylor Swift: 'Siri, play 'Bad Blood.'' The rift between Trump and Musk had been highly anticipated on Capitol Hill, with onlookers inside Washington privately predicting how long the two influential individuals and their egos would be able to work together. The break began last week when Musk said he was 'disappointed' by the bill; it heated up on Monday — fresh off his White House tenure — when he called the measure 'a disgusting abomination;' and it boiled over on Thursday, when the political attacks on the legislation took a personal turn to Trump. For some, the alliance lasted longer than anticipated. 'They got along longer than I expected!' said one House Republican. The feud, however, is coming at an inopportune moment for Republicans: Party leaders are still pushing to approve their sprawling tax cut and spending package by July 4, less than a month away, and the heated back-and-forth is emerging as a distraction from that effort. Some lawmakers are trying to refocus the conversation. 'Some are focused on the big beautiful brawl — but every one in Congress should be focused on making the Big Beautiful Bill better,' Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), who is pushing for changes to the bill, wrote on X. Other members, meanwhile, opted to stay on the sidelines of the heated battle, leaving it to Trump and Musk. 'Ma'am, I have a rule,' Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told CNN. 'I never get between a dog and a fire hydrant.' 'I read a chapter in Proverbs everyday and King Solomon advised staying out of other people's arguments,' Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) echoed on X. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tyson Foods working to remove synthetic dyes from products, CEO says
SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Tyson Foods plans to eliminate synthetic dyes from its products by the end of May, CEO Donnie King announced on Monday. King said in the company's second-quarter earnings call that Tyson is working to eliminate its use of petroleum-based synthetic dyes. 'The vast majority of our retail-branded Tyson products, including our Tyson Dino Nuggets, Tyson Chicken Nuggets, Tyson Chicken Bites and Jimmy Dean Maple Griddle Cakes, do not contain any of these types of dyes, and we have been proactively reformulating those few products that do,' King said. King continued, saying that none of the products Tyson Foods offers through school nutrition programs include petroleum-based synthetic dyes as ingredients. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a post on X on Monday that he looks 'forward to seeing more companies follow suit and put the health of Americans first.' Tyson Foods sells 4 cold storage warehouses for combined $247 million 'Together, we will Make America Healthy Again,' Kennedy Jr. said. In April, Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary announced plans to phase out several types of artificial, petroleum-based dyes used as food coloring in various snacks, drinks and desserts that line grocery shelves, mainly citing kids' health as the reason for the move. Kennedy Jr. and Makary said the FDA wants to eliminate these food colorings by the end of 2026: FD&C Red No. 40 (or Red 40) FD&C Green No. 3 (or Green 3) FD&C Yellow No. 5 and Yellow No. 6 (or Yellow 5 and 6) FD&C Blue No. 1 and Blue No. 2 (or Blue 1 and 2) King said he expects Tyson to eliminate the use of petroleum-based synthetic dyes in production by the end of May, 'much sooner than the timeline provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.'
