Amid economic uncertainty, layoffs, and rapid changes in the workforce, strong leadership teams are vital to navigate challenges, and some companies have figured this out. On Wednesday, Comparably, an online platform for workplace culture insights and compensation data, revealed its eighth annual Best Leadership Teams ranking, highlighting the top-rated large, small, and midsize companies excelling in leadership. At the top of the list was Elsevier, the science and academic publishing company, and ADP, the provider of human resources software. “ADP’s leadership has been instrumental in strengthening ADP’s brandawareness, growing market share, and leading the company’s sales,marketing, and go-to-market activities,” an ADP employee said. These two top companies are led by women CEOs, despite only 6% of CEOs worldwide being women, and retained their ranking from the year before. “The leadership team always gives equal chances to the team members.There is no partiality or favoritism. The forum is open for suggestions,feedback, and discussion from the stakeholders,” Comparably quoted one Elsevier employee as saying. Despite positive employee ratings, women CEOs tend to leave their positions at higher rates than men, according to a recent report from Challenger, Gray, & Christmas, which looked at monthly data between January and February 2025. According to the report, 54% of women CEOs who left their position that month were replaced by men, and the rate of new women CEOs declined from 26% to 23%. Where the top-ranked companies are located Among the top 25 companies featured in the ranking, more than half are based in California and New York, with 10 companies across the Golden State, four in New York City, and one in upstate New York. The ranking is the result of millions of reviews by employees who anonymously rated their direct managers, C-suite executives, and CEOs over a 12-month period. This year’s list was compiled with over 15 million ratings from 70,000 American and Canadian companies. Here are the top 10 large companies with the best leadership teams.

Voyager Technologies raised $382.8 million in its U.S. initial public offering, the space and defense tech company said on Tuesday, amid a global rush to amp up military spending. The company, which provides mission-critical space and defense technology solutions, along with some investors sold roughly 12.35 million shares at $31 per share, above its marketed range of $26 to $29. The offering is the latest in recent weeks as the U.S. IPO market regained its footing after being restricted by tariff-driven volatility. The Denver, Coloradobased company’s IPO comes as President Donald Trump’s administration looks to sharply increase spending on defense and space projects. Trump last month selected a design for his $175 billion Golden Dome project, a next-generation U.S. missile defense shield. The stock will trade on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday under the symbol “VOYG”. Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan are the lead underwriters on the listing.

Two crypto investors pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to charges they kidnapped and tortured an Italian man for his Bitcoin in an upscale Manhattan townhouse. William Duplessie and John Woeltz were ordered held in custody until their next court date on July 15 during their arraignment in Manhattan criminal court. Their lawyers had sought their release on $1 million bail and home confinement with their parents. They argued the victim wasn’t in distress during his time in New York, saying they had obtained video and photo evidence showing the accuser smiling and laughing during the time of his purported captivity. Among the evidence the lawyers said they have obtained are photos of the accuser moving freely in and out of the house, even taking a trip to an eyeglass store with one of the defendants. This narrative is entirely false,” said Sam Talkin, Duplessie’s lawyer. The story that he is selling doesnt make sense. Prosecutor Sania Khan argued that someone supporting the defendants was selectively leaking videos to present a counternarrative of the events Victims of abuse are not always going to act the way that we expect them to,” she added. Duplessie and Woeltz, who appeared in handcuffs and prison uniforms, didn’t speak in court other than to formally enter their pleas. They face charges of kidnapping, assault, unlawful imprisonment and criminal possession of a weapon. Prosecutors say on May 6, the two men lured the victim, who they knew personally, to a posh townhouse in Manhattans Soho neighborhood by threatening to kill his family. The man, a 28-year-old Italian national who has not been named by officials, said he was held captive for 17 days. He said the two investors tormented him with electrical wires, forced him to smoke from a crack pipe and at one point dangled him from a staircase five stories high. The man said he eventually agreed to hand over his computer password, then managed to flee as his captors went to retrieve the device. Woeltz, 37, has described himself in interviews as a blockchain investor who spent time in Silicon Valley before returning to Kentuckys burgeoning crypto-mining industry. Duplessie, 32, is listed as a founder or investor at various blockchain-based companies. New York City police are also investigating two detectives who worked security at the townhouse where the man says he was tortured. The officers have been placed on modified leave pending the outcome of the inquiry, although their lawyer has said theres no indication either officer witnessed any of the alleged criminal activity.
