Titan CEO and headline sponsors Associated Bank and Wipfli LLP are pleased to announce Jon Heup as a 2026 Wisconsin Titan 100 Honoree. The Titan 100 program recognizes Wisconsin’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. Collectively, the 2026 Wisconsin Titan 100 and their companies employ over 64,000 individuals and generate over $14 billion in annual revenues. 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 January 29th, 2026, and will be given the opportunity to interact and connect multiple times throughout the year with their fellow Titans.
Titan award recipients are allowed to make the Titan 100 list for up to three years, with each year getting progressively more difficult. To make it to the Hall of Fame, Titans must complete on-camera interviews and answer a series of questions where they do not know what will be asked in front of a live judging committee. The Titan 100 Hall of Fame are a class of elite executives that have consistently shown over the past three years their ability to demonstrate the characteristics of a Titan who is a pillar of our community.
This year’s Titan 100 embody the true diversity of Wisconsin’s business landscape. Representing construction, aerospace, marketing & advertising, financial services, food & beverages, information technology & services, and non-profit sectors, among others.
“Wisconsin’s Titan 100 are redefining business with vision and purpose, setting new standards for growth, innovation, and impact. These trailblazing leaders inspire transformation across industries, uplift communities, and drive meaningful change. We proudly celebrate their legacy of excellence and unwavering commitment to shaping a brighter future for all,” says Jaime Zawmon, President of Titan CEO.
Heup has excelled in his current leadership as President of DeltaHawk Engines, Inc. Under his leadership, Deltahawk has transitioned from R&D, to certification, and currently completing the process to enter production. His skilled experience has been crucial in day-to-day operational management to achieve the ultimate goal of revolutionizing the general aviation industry. His style of leadership is fostered by his innate skill of understanding a servant leader that is present and provides respect to his employees.
“I am incredibly humbled by my nomination and selection as a Titan of industry in the state of Wisconsin. I am honored to join a list of phenomenal businesspeople who are making an impact in a variety of fields across this state. The Titan 100 is an incredible recognition of my ambition and leadership as we continue to propel general aviation into the future.”
Heup will be honored at the Titan 100 awards celebration on January 29th, 2026, will be held at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI. 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 Wisconsin business community.
