The Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica Hall of Fame was established in 1992. It is the premier event on the PSOJ’s calendar of events at which we publicly recognise an outstanding leader of the private sector leader.

The Private Sector Hall of Fame was designed to honour business leaders who have made significant contributions to the development of the private sector and our country and pays tribute to three important traits – successful entrepreneurship, leadership and character. The nominees should have served in Jamaica’s private sector for at least twenty-five (25) years and should also have an in-depth knowledge of and commitment to his or her field and be of sound character and unquestionable integrity. High ethical standards should be the trademark of his or her business deals and practices. In addition, the nominees’ companies must be successful with above average growth.

Only one awardee is selected each year. However, at our inaugural dinner in 1992, there were two awardees. The founding President of the PSOJ, the late Honourable Carlton Alexander, OJ, CD, was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame, as was the late Honourable Paul Geddes, OJ.

The Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) has announced Christopher Zacca, President & CEO of Sagicor Group Jamaica as the newest honouree to be inducted into the esteemed PSOJ Hall of Fame on Thursday, October 31, 2024, this as the organisation celebrates the award’s 30th anniversary.
