-- Aurelien Mangano, Executive Leadership Coach at DevelUpLeaders, was honored with the Business Leadership Excellence Award at the 2026 edition of the CXO 2.0 Conference and was recently featured in New York’s Times Square. This acknowledgment follows his recognition at the business leadership conference held from April 7–9, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, USA. The three-day event gathered global executives, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to explore perspectives shaping the future of leadership, strategy, and organizational development.
His feature in one of the world’s most iconic public spaces marks a significant moment for professionals redefining leadership through structured frameworks and measurable impact. Aurelien’s work reflects how bridging the gap between management and leadership can enable organizations to strengthen vision alignment, improve execution, and drive sustainable growth.
Aurelien Mangano transforms managers from a management mindset to a leadership mindset, inspiring organizations to build their visions. As a Forbes Coaches Council member, executive coach, and CEO of DevelUpLeaders, he created the proprietary Leadership Maturity Matrix™, the first assessment revealing where executives are stuck between management authority and leadership influence.
His 5 Pillars Framework guides C-suite transitions using science-backed assessments. Currently Vice President of Programs for PMI Houston, Aurelien holds credentials including ICF PCC, PMP, PMI-ACP, PMI-PBA, Organizational Development Coach, and EQ-i 2.0 certification. His clients achieve 75% career advancement and 25% improved strategy implementation.
Aurelien’s recognition in Times Square reflects the growing importance of leadership experts driving executive transformation. His contributions highlight how structured leadership development can strengthen decision-making and long-term performance.
"Every executive in that room has been promoted for what they could control. Very few have been recognized for what they were willing to let go of. That is the real gap in leadership today and it costs organizations more than any market shift or talent shortage ever will.
I spent nearly two decades inside Fortune 500 boardrooms watching exceptional people hit that ceiling. Not because they lacked intelligence or ambition, but because no one had ever told them that the skills that made them great managers would quietly make them ineffective leaders. Control, compliance, and protection work brilliantly until they don't.
The leaders who truly inspire others are never the ones who tighten their grip. They are the ones who become so clear in who they are, so consistent in their vision, and so genuine in how they show up, that people choose to follow them. That is not a management skill. That is a leadership identity. And it can be built.
That truth, combined with years of failure, rebuilding, and transformation work with the executives I coach, became The Leadership Shift, and this June 2026, it becomes a book.
This award matters because the problem it points to matters. If it opens one more conversation with one more leader ready to make that shift, that is more than enough."
Looking ahead, his upcoming initiatives focus on advancing frameworks that support executive growth and organizational effectiveness. This aligns with the CXO 2.0 Conference’s mission of promoting leadership that drives clarity, alignment, and impact.
