f there is anything the coronavirus
pandemic has taught us, it's the
need for smart, competent and
honest leaders.
COVID-19 has changed the
way nearly everything operates
— whether it's a private-sector
business, college, hospital or even
the government.
Organizations have had to rely
on strong leaders who can guide
them through that ever-changing
landscape.
This special section of Hartford
Business Journal aims to highlight
private- and public-sector, nonprofit,
higher education and healthcare
leaders in Greater Hartford whose
power and influence not only
change the organizations they work
for but the broader community.
HBJ's second annual Power 50
class was chosen and ranked by
our news team. In each profile, we
explain who the individuals are and
why they were chosen for the list.
Power comes in a variety of forms.
You can be a CEO, government
leader, college president, run a
nonprofit, regulate an industry or be
an important cog in a highly visible
project, issue or trend.
The rankings include a mix of
established players as well as some
fresh faces to our region. We tried to
emphasize diversity in people and
industries.
It's important to highlight these
leaders not as a vanity project but
as a way to bring Greater Hartford's
business community together —
especially at a time when many of us
remain apart.
Our Power Players issue has
quickly become a popular must-see
section, so if you have ideas for who
should be on next year's list please
let us know.
