The end of the year is approaching, offices are thinning out, and auto-replies are being set as companies wind down for the holiday season. It’s a time when business leaders reflect on their 2025 performance, while also voicing their 2026 ambitions into existence. The same goes for their personal lives—and CEOs have already drummed up their New Year’s resolutions. 

Chief executives leading the likes of American genealogy giant Ancestry.com, $2.4 billion wellness platform Wellhub, ticketing business Eventbrite, and facial chain Glowbar are all weighing in on their goals. Each has their own distinct target—whether that‘s finally getting seven hours of shut-eye, or racing mountain bikes across South Africa for eight days. One is intent on getting a leg up in the AI race, while another wants to revive a family tradition from her childhood.
