Titan CEO and headline sponsor Wipfli are pleased to announce Dr. Audra Spicer, CSU Global interim president and CEO, as a 2026 Colorado Titan 100 recipient. In addition, Dr. Sandy Jones, CSU Global chief engagement officer, received the recognition for the second consecutive year.

The Titan 100 program recognizes Colorado’s Top 100 CEOs & C-level executives. They are the area’s most accomplished business leaders in their industry using criteria that include demonstrating exceptional leadership, vision, and passion. Together, the 2026 Colorado Titan 100 honorees and their companies generate more than $20 billion in annual revenue and employ over 266,000 people across the region and beyond, with over half of these companies exceeding $35 million in annual revenue. This year’s honorees will be published in a limited-edition Titan 100 book and profiled exclusively online. They will be honored at the annual awards ceremony on June 4th, 2026, and will be given the opportunity to interact and connect multiple times throughout the year with their fellow Titans.

“This year’s Titans represent more than success; they embody resilience, purpose, and transformation,” said Jaime Zawmon, President of Titan CEO. “Being a Titan is not just a title; it is a mindset, a way of leading with courage, serving with integrity, and creating something that outlasts you. It is about lifting those around you and leaving a legacy that inspires others to rise. These leaders stand as proof that the future of business is driven by those who turn vision into lasting impact.”

Since joining CSU Global in 2012, Dr. Spicer has been a driving force behind the university’s mission to provide high-quality, career-aligned education for learners. Under her leadership as provost and chief academic officer and now as interim president and CEO, she has overseen the launch of over 30 new industry-relevant programs in high-demand fields. Her commitment to student success is reflected in the university’s impressive outcomes, with over 70 percent of undergraduate and graduate completers securing employment in their field within three to five years of program completion. Dr. Spicer’s inclusion in Titan 100 highlights her role as a visionary leader shaping the future of online higher education and the Colorado workforce.

Joining Dr. Spicer in this recognition is Dr. Jones, who is celebrating her second consecutive year as a Colorado Titan 100 honoree. With over 20 years of experience in higher education, Dr. Jones has been instrumental in driving the university’s growth since joining in 2020. As chief engagement officer, she oversees admissions, marketing, communications, and strategic partnerships, leading initiatives that have resulted in enrollment growth and the establishment of over 50 new enterprise partnerships.

Dr. Spicer and Dr. Jones will be honored at the Titan 100 awards celebration on June 4th, 2026, which will be held at The National Western Center – LVC Arena, CO. This elegant, cocktail-style awards event will unite 100 Titans of Industry for an unforgettable evening of celebration, camaraderie, and networking—an evening unlike anything that exists in the Colorado business community.

“On behalf of the entire team at Wipfli, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Titan 100 winners. It is a privilege to celebrate this remarkable group of leaders within Colorado’s business community. We deeply value the enduring contributions each leader has made, and continues to make, in shaping significant organizations both locally and globally.
