Highlighting the 2026 Power100 Active Icons
On February 24, 2026, Blueprint Capital Advisors announced the names of the 2026 Power100 Active Icons. This prestigious list recognizes outstanding leaders in the investment community whose dedication and accomplishments have significantly impacted the industry.
The Power100 platform serves as an annual spotlight on the influential figures within institutional investment management. The Active Icons category specifically honors individuals whose careers demonstrate unparalleled successes, lasting influence, and a steadfast commitment to enhancing opportunities within the investment management landscape.
The 2026 class of Power100 Active Icons features notable personalities such as Frank Baker from Siris Capital Group and Melinda French Gates of Pivotal Ventures. These individuals are celebrated not only for their impressive performance but also for their vision and leadership that inspire and facilitate meaningful changes in the industry.
These leaders embody the highest standards of excellence, according to Jacob Walthour, CEO of Blueprint Capital Advisors. He stated,
"The Active Icons reflect the highest standard of leadership in our industry. Their influence extends beyond performance. They have expanded access to capital, strengthened institutions, and helped shape a more dynamic and inclusive investment landscape."
The goal of the Power100 recognition is to honor those whose impact goes far beyond mere financial results. Erica Madrid, the Executive Director of Power100 elaborated,
"The 2026 Active Icons have not only generated exceptional results, but they have also strengthened institutions, expanded access to capital, and helped shape a more resilient investment ecosystem. Our role is to bring these voices together and ensure their leadership continues to inspire the next generation of allocators and managers.”
In addition to the Active Icons, Blueprint Capital Advisors is set to unveil further categories including Angels, Advocates, Allocators, Asset Gatherers, and Advisors in the weeks to come, enhancing the recognition of various influential players in the investing world.
A formal celebration of the 2026 Power100 Honorees is scheduled for May 3, 2026, during the 3rd Annual Power100 Honoree Dinner at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, in Beverly Hills, California. This event coincides with the prestigious Milken Institute Global Conference, allowing for an enriching weekend filled with insights, discussions, and networking opportunities among prominent figures in the finance and investment sectors.
The Power100 platform is a testament to Blueprint Capital Advisors' dedication to highlighting leaders who are not just high achievers but also transformational figures in the investment arena.
