The People’s Choice Award is a special recognition presented to the personality who garnered the highest number of votes from the general public.

With over 15 years of active involvement in business across four continents, Mr. Basil David Anthony, widely known as the CEO ExtraOrdinaire (CEOExtraO), has achieved remarkable success in various industries.
