ATLANTA — March 2026 — HatchWorks AI CEO and Founder Brandon Powell has been inducted into the 2026 Georgia Titan 100 Hall of Fame, the program's highest honor, awarded to only 10 of the 100 CEOs and C-level executives recognized this year.
The Titan 100 program recognizes Georgia's top 100 CEOs and C-level executives for exceptional leadership, vision, and passion. Honorees are selected annually by a panel of industry experts, and the recognition gets progressively more difficult each year. To reach the Hall of Fame, leaders must complete on-camera interviews and answer questions before a live judging committee — a process that only 10 honorees have achieved as part of this year's class.
This marks Brandon's third consecutive year as a Titan 100 honoree, following his initial recognition in 2024 and return in 2025.
Collectively, the 2026 Georgia Titan 100 honorees and their companies generate more than $91.7 billion in annual revenue and employ over 534,000 people across the region and beyond. Brandon and the full class of honorees will be celebrated at the annual awards ceremony on Thursday, May 7th, at The Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta.
"This recognition is deeply meaningful — not just as a personal milestone, but as a reflection of the team behind me. Every person across HatchWorks AI contributes to the vision, the execution, and the results that make this kind of honor possible. I'm grateful to be part of this community of leaders, and I'm more focused than ever on what's ahead."
— Brandon Powell, CEO and Founder of HatchWorks AI
