The visionaries on this year’s Tatler Most Influential list aren’t just leading industries; they’re redefining what success and impact look like for the next generation
Asia is home to some of the world’s largest corporations and most dynamic economies. Companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Tencent and Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts that began as local enterprises now rank among global leaders in their sectors.
This economic transformation has been driven by visionary and purpose-driven individuals who have shaped industries, advanced research and innovation, led cultural movements and aided communities in need across the continent.
Today, Tatler launches Tatler Most Influential, its annual reference of top changemakers and leaders.
The 2025 list features 700 individuals across seven territories—Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam—and 20 industry categories, including finance, technology, hospitality and philanthropy.
Months in the making, each individual on the list has been evaluated through a strict editorial process that focused on measurable contributions, career longevity, and sustained influence and impact within their respective fields.
