Have you ever compiled a ranked list? Perhaps the best movies about finance, your favorite wineries in France, the coolest bars in your city, or simply the people you want to grab a coffee with while in New York City for only two days? If so, I think you will agree with me: It may be extremely fun, but it is also extremely difficult. And the more contenders you plan to feature, the more difficult it is to establish an order that satisfies you.
Now, imagine that you are compiling this list not alone but in discussion with dozens of your colleagues, every one of whom has an opinion you greatly appreciate.

Moreover, you have to update the list at least 20 times — or maybe even more — because we work in an industry where the speed at which success stories are made would make Usain Bolt envious.

At some point, you realize that 100 entries are just not enough to include everyone you want to praise or mention, and you start having nightmares where last year’s awardees come to request their spot this year. (In my dreams, they looked like the statue of the Commendatore from Don Giovanni, I guess as a tribute to the Top 100 2021’s visual theme of cosmic marble busts.)
