Icon Writers / 14 Oct, 2025

Icon Group (Icon) is proud to announce our Group CEO, Mark Middleton OAM, has been named a finalist for the 2025 Executive of the Year Awards for Australia.

Presented by The CEO Magazine, the prestigious awards recognise Australia’s most inspiring and innovative leaders in each of the respective industries.  

First held in 2012, the Executive of the Year awards recognise CEOs for their commitment and dedication, not only to their company, but to the wider industry community. 

 

This is Mark’s third nomination for Healthcare Executive of the Year, having been a finalist in 2016 and 2019, and is acknowledgment of his determination to reshape cancer care provision. 

Since 2015, he has been the driving force behind Icon’s strategic growth. Beginning with a handful of centres in Australia, to a globally recognised integrated healthcare provider, Mark has remained steadfast in our mission to deliver the best care possible, to as many people as possible, as close to home as possible. 

An iconic team 

Throughout his career, Mark has championed innovation with an emphasis on patient-centricity. His authentic and purpose-led leadership is mirrored throughout Icon and acts as the central role model for the group.  

From pioneering new technologies to connecting healthcare teams and services across the globe, Mark is spearheading the challenge of the global cancer burden. 

Mark’s nomination reflects not only his personal achievements, but also the combined efforts of teams across Icon.  

“This industry recognition is really a testament to the 4,000 plus Icon team members who are the true reason behind our success,” Mark said.  

“The dedication and talent of our people and the exceptional care they deliver to so many people across the globe are what inspires me to lead with purpose. 

“I’m so proud of what we’ve built together and the difference we are making to so many.” 

The 2025 Executive of the Year Award winners will be announced on 12 November in Melbourne.

Icon congratulates Mark on this achievement and continuing to transform cancer care and help address the global cancer burden.
