2025 Business Leaders Hall of Fame inductees

The Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame, which now has 105 members, was established by QUT and the State Library of Queensland in 2009 to recognise the state's most influential business leaders. The 16th annual Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame welcomed six new inductees at a gala dinner in Brisbane celebrating outstanding contributions to the state. The Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame has welcomed six new members at a gala induction dinner last night at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. The business icons have been recognised for their outstanding economic and cultural contributions to the state – and for being part of the Hall of Fame’s milestone 100th inductee cohort. The 2025 Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame inductees are: Buderim Ginger; The late Betty Byrne Henderson AM; Keri Craig-Lee OAM; Harvey Lister AM; Euan Murdoch; Sunny Queen Australia QUT Vice-Chancellor Professor Margaret Sheil AO said the legacy of the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame was a testament to the power of collaboration between education and cultural institutions. “These Queensland business leaders are shaping our communities, economies and futures,” Professor Sheil said. “And their journeys offer powerful examples to our students of what is possible across industries and generations, reflecting the dynamism and diversity of our state. “The awards celebrate our deep connection with Queensland’s business community and exemplify our commitment to real-world impact through collaboration with industry leaders. Their stories enrich our curriculum, and many inductees go on to contribute to QUT programs as guest lecturers, mentors and partners.” State Librarian and CEO Vicki McDonald AM said by celebrating these visionary leaders, we recognise not only their achievements, but also the important role of business in shaping Queensland’s cultural and economic story. “This year’s inductees reflect the ingenuity and resilience that define our business landscape, and their stories will inspire future generations. “The remarkable contributions of the state’s business leaders are captured in State Library’s extensive collection, and we are proud to add these extraordinary inductees to that enduring legacy.
