Magentus CEO Rachael Powell has been named one of the world’s most influential technology leaders in The CEO Magazine’s Top Tech Innovators global spotlight. Featured alongside Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman, Powell appears on a list that highlights 50 leaders reshaping progress worldwide across AI, clean energy, finance and health.
This accolade follows a milestone year for Magentus. The company was recently listed as one of TIME’s Top HealthTech Companies of 2025, recognising its global impact and leadership in connected, data‑driven healthcare innovation.
Purpose‑Driven Innovation at the Core
As one of only a handful of leaders selected from the healthcare technology sector, Powell stands out for her passion for human-centred and purpose driven innovation, an approach she believes is essential in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
For Powell, the CEO Magazine honour highlights her commitment to innovation that improves real lives.
“Innovation without purpose is just a novelty… The world doesn’t need clever tech for its own sake; it needs meaningful innovation that meets real human needs and creates lasting change.”
Under Powell’s leadership, Magentus continues to expand its cloud‑enabled, interoperable healthcare platform across Australia and the UK. This includes simplifying clinical workflows, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening cross‑system collaboration to create a safer, smarter and more connected healthcare ecosystem.
Magentus’s continued global momentum, including recent acquisitions and strategic partnerships, underscores the organisation’s commitment to delivering secure, scalable solutions that meaningfully support clinicians, hospitals, laboratories, and patients.
Leadership Grounded in Empathy, Clarity and Impact
Powell has consistently emphasised the responsibility technology leaders carry in shaping a better future.
“Technology opens up remarkable opportunities, but it’s the intention behind it that determines the impact. Innovation should always start with empathy, which means understanding the challenges clinicians, hospitals and patients face every day, then designing solutions that genuinely improve outcomes.”
This approach reflects the broader message of The CEO Magazine’s Top Tech Innovators: breakthroughs happen when leaders remain curious, collaborate boldly, and amplify human connection through technology.
A Collective Achievement for Magentus
For Powell, this latest recognition is not about a personal milestone, but a reflection of the Magentus team’s shared ambition:
“Accolades like this signal that we’re on the right path, but they’re also a reminder to keep pushing boundaries. Innovation is never finished, and our role is to keep elevating what’s possible in healthcare.”
