The newspaper released its third annual Tech Power Players 50, a list that ranks leaders in the region across the tech space, ranging from venture capital to cybersecurity to artificial intelligence. According to the newspaper, the leaders were selected from more than 200 nominations and ranked by an advisory committee, composed of local leaders in business and technology, and members of the Globe newsroom.
Ultimately, two leaders were chosen to take the No. 1 spot atop the ranking: Andrew Bialecki and Ed Hallen.
