Greenleaf Trust is proud to announce that Mike Odar, CEO, has been named to the 2025 Most Loved CEOs list by Most Loved Workplace®. This prestigious recognition honors leaders whose employees report feeling respected, supported and proud to work for them.

The 2025 Most Loved CEOs list spans multiple industries, including technology, financial services, healthcare, hospitality, construction and professional services. Unlike popularity contests or PR-driven rankings, honorees are selected using the Most Loved Workplace® research model, which evaluates emotional commitment, trust in leadership, inclusion and real opportunities for growth through employee surveys, public reviews and the Love of Workplace Index™.

“We are incredibly proud of Mike and this well-deserved recognition,” said Dan Rinzema, CFA®, CFP®, CTFA, President at Greenleaf Trust. “Mike leads with clarity, humility and a deep respect for people. The culture he’s fostered empowers teammates to be heard, contribute meaningfully and grow in their careers as we serve clients together.”

A Most Loved CEO sets clear direction, listens and responds to their team, as well as creates an environment where employees can do meaningful work, build successful careers and enthusiastically recommend their organization as a great place to work. Mike joins 84 other honorees, including the CEOs of Kendra Scott and Athletic Brewing Company.
