For the second consecutive year, Mayor Justin Bibb kicks off our annual Most Interesting People issue. Bibb isn’t our first two-time Most Interesting People pick just because we couldn’t imagine exploring the New Guard of Cleveland leadership without him. (Though, that’s certainly true.)

When the young businessman, having never held office, was elected mayor in 2021, it shocked the region. He earned the voters’ nod over far more experienced candidates, and he replaced Mayor Frank Jackson, who retired after four terms and 16 years. In the same way "Jackson" became shorthand for slow and status quo, "Bibb" became synonymous with young leadership. His election sent a tidal wave of change across the city — with up-and-comers wondering Can I do it, too? and men and women in boardrooms looking for the “Bibb” in their organizations.

“Change is a good thing,” says Bibb. “I think you’re seeing a turning point in America as a new guard emerges to confront a lot of these age-old problems with bold solutions.”

🧑‍💻 Mayor Bibb reflects on his first year in office and shares how he plans to continue foraging forward at the link in our bio.
