Crain's Chicago Business by crainschicago

BUSINESS THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN CHICAGO BUSINESS

Welcome to The Book

Throughout the year, Crain’s Chicago Business delivers a suite of data-driven lists and features designed to help our audience better understand this dynamic and vibrant city. And as we transition into the new year, we pull those features together into one handy reference guide, knowing that it will be an indispensable reference in the year ahead. That guide is what we now know as The Book.

What you’re holding is, however, much more than a book of lists. It is your essential guide to everything you need to be successful in business in Chicago. In addition to the detailed dossiers on companies and leaders gathered by our data team throughout the year, The Book has everything you need at your fingertips to research how business works in Chicago.

Making this year’s edition of The Book even more comprehensive is the return of Crain’s Who’s Who in Chicago Business after a five-year hiatus. In Who’s Who, you’ll find useful biographical information on the people you need to know now to get big things done in Chicago. Included are leaders making a difference in every corner of Chicago’s business, civic, cultural and philanthropic worlds. The reconstituted Who’s Who is an authoritative field guide to power in Chicago—and the sort of information you simply cannot get anywhere else.

In total, the information researched and curated here by our data, reporting and graphics teams tells a story of a city and a region doing extraordinary things in the face of extraordinary challenges. It’s our privilege, as journalists, to tell this story, and we thank you for making Crain’s Chicago Business your choice for news and information. We look forward to connecting with you in print and online in 2023.

WHO’S

Editorial sta ers at Crain’s Chicago Business once again put their heads together to identify anybody who’s anybody for our revived edition of Who’s Who, last published in 2017. In that ve-year span, Chicago has elected a new mayor and governor, seen changes in corporate and civic management, looked to the guidance of veteran gureheads and welcomed the voices of emerging movers and shakers, all while navigating the turmoil of a pandemic. From nance to cuisine, architecture to law, education to politics and everything in between, Crain’s lists more than 300 names you should know.

CHICAGO BUSINESS LEADERS OPTIMISTIC

There's a lot of chatter about the outlook for businesses in the Chicago area and across Illinois.

The state's economy remains a national leader and stands well above its Midwestern neighbors. Its total economy passed the $1 trillion mark in annualized GDP in 2022, just the fifth state to do so, and some think that could double to $2 trillion by 2040.

Yet much of the wider world thinks the state is in a fiscal fiasco. Growth industries of the future are passing on opportunities in Illinois. And a number of big-name Chicago-based businesses— Citadel, Caterpillar and Boeing among the most recent—are skipping town.

But what do Chicago’s business decision-makers actually think the future holds in 2023? A Crain's survey put that question to 190 small-business leaders—the owners, presidents, vice presidents, directors and other C-level executives of companies

with fewer than 500 employees.

The outlook is positive. Half of the business leaders expect revenues to rise, 27% expect revenues to stay the same and 24% expect to see declines. For those Chicago companies that are forecasting growth, they see those opportunities through new customers and markets, improving customer relationships, and advancing marketing and sales strategies.

At the same time, Chicago-area business leaders are seeing costs rise across the board. Economic uncertainty is expected to be a challenge in the year ahead. So are continuing supply chain issues and barriers to talent recruitment and retention, not to mention worries over increasing taxes and government regulations.

From decisions on spending to hiring to relocating office spaces, here's what Chicago-area business leaders expect for the year ahead. —Jack Grieve

Half expect revenue increases, while about one-quarter expect stable revenue or a decrease.

Costs are rising even more, with the majority of small businesses facing an overall cost increase.

Office real estate spending will stay stable in 2023.

HOW The Book • Crain’s Chicago Business 2023 65

THIS LIST WAS COMPILED

Who was eligible? The Best Places to Work in Chicago program was open to all publicly or privately held organizations, either for-profit or not-for-profit. To be eligible for consideration, organizations had to have at least 25 employees working in the seven-county area of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will in Illinois and Lake in Indiana. Published employee totals are as of April.

What criteria were used? Best Companies Group (BCG), an independent workplace excellence research firm, conducted a two-part survey. Part one of the assessment consisted of an employer questionnaire, used to collect information about benefits, policies, practices and other general information. Part two was a confidential 77-question employee survey used to evaluate local employees’ workplace experience and culture. BCG collected data from the companies in March and April.

How was it scored? BCG combined the scores of the two surveys, with the employee responses making up 75% of the total, and conducted in-depth analysis to determine the number of companies that met its standard of excellence. To find the top companies in each size category, BCG separated firms into small (25 to 99 U.S. employees), medium (100 to 249) and large (250 or more). ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: SEPT. 19, 2022

w We only considered companies headquartered in the seven-county Chicago area, founded on or before Dec. 31, 2015.

w We excluded franchisees, regulated banks, utilities, real estate developers, real estate investment trusts

and some holding companies (such as those that primarily buy or sell other companies/large assets).

w Small companies (those reporting less than $15 million in 2021 revenue) were likewise not considered.

w Lastly, we disqualified companies that had more than one drop in revenue from 2016 to 2021.

GEN X LEADERS IN ACCOUNTING, CONSULTING AND LAW

The more than 100 members of this group of Gen X Notables are leaders in their industries, managing offices, chairing legal groups and sitting on strategy-setting boards. Their specialties range from health care regulations to employment disputes to tax strategy and cloud technology, and they are increasingly building more diverse and equitable teams at their companies. Following pandemic disruptions, these professionals are busy bolstering their firms’ revenues and reputations

and have overhauled parental leave, caregiver and flexible work policies to attract and retain top talent. They also give generously of their time, whether that’s pro bono cases representing human trafficking victims and people wrongfully convicted of crimes or volunteering as coaches, board members and mentors for nonprofits both large and small. Having established themselves as leaders in their fields, they are eager to help others rise through the ranks. —

Contract (year started): $81.9 million; 3 years (2021)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $4 million

Affiliated brands: Nike, Spalding, Gatorade

The Bulls picked up this four-time AllStar and two-time All-NBA player over the summer from the San Antonio Spurs through a sign-and-trade deal. He’s the highest-paid player on the team and on Crain’s list with a base salary of $26 million. In 2020, DeRozan ranked No. 76 on Forbes’ Highest-Paid Athletes list with a total of $24.8 million in earnings. The 32-year-old has sponsorship deals with Spalding, Nike and Gatorade, and he recently aunched his own clothing line, Comp10, inspired by his hometown of Compton, Calif.

ZACH LAVINE

Shooting guard, Bulls Age: 26

2021 total income: $27 million

2021 salary (plus bonuses): $19.5 million

Contract (year started): $78 million; 4 years (2017)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $7.5 million

Affiliated brands: Adidas, Mountain Dew, CarMax, Finish Line, Cherrish, Panini America, Zenni Optical

The 26-year-old had an exciting offseason in 2021, winning a gold medal playing for Team USA in the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.

The All-Star has been staying busy off-court doing marketing for Mountain Dew and CarMax’s “Call Your Shot” campaign. In 2017, LaVine scored a four-year shoe deal with Adidas for $35 million, though the deal expired in October.

NIKOLA VUCEVIC

Center, Bulls Age: 31

2021 total income: $24.5 million 2021 salary (plus bonuses): $24 million

Contract (year started): $100 million; 4 years (2020)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $500,000

Affiliated brands: Nike

The Bulls acquired this 6-foot-10, two-time All-Star in March 2021 in a deal with the Orlando Magic. Vucevic earned $26 million in the 2020-21 season, dropping down to a base salary of $24 million this season, then $22 million next season. The Montenegrin NBA veteran leads the Bulls in rebounds this year, despite missing seven games in November after testing positive for COVID-19.

He maintains a relatively low-profile off-court, though he has endorsements with Nike and YouTube.

CRAIN’S LIST CHICAGO’S HIGHEST-PAID ATHLETES

JASON HEYWARD

Right field, Cubs* Age: 32

2021 total income: $23.8 million 2021 salary (plus bonuses): $23.5 million

Contract (year started): $184 million; 8 years (2016)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $300,000

Affiliated brands: Nike, Rawlings, New Era

With the exception of a now-fabled clubhouse speech he gave during a rain delay late in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, Heyward’s Cubs career has been a massive disappointment for fans. He suffered perhaps the worst statistical season of his 12-year career in 2021 and played in only 104 games before suffering a season-ending concussion. Yet he still made $23.5 million this year under a huge contract the Cubs signed with him in 2015. Heyward’s agency said he didn’t focus on marketing in 2021, instead opting for community events. That said, the All-Star’s income was supplemented by sporting Nike gear on the field and using a Rawlings field glove. Heyward ranked No. 7 on our list in 2017 with a total income of $15.7 million.

LONZO BALL

Point guard, Bulls Age: 24

2021 total income: $21.6 million 2021 salary (plus bonuses): $18.6 million

Contract (year started): $85 million; 4 years (2021)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $3 million

Affiliated brands: Airbnb, C4 Energy, Foot Locker, Uber Ball initially came into the sports and pop culture spotlight through his boisterous father, LaVar, who hyped all three of his basketball-playing sons before they hit the national scene and created the Big Baller Brand clothing and shoe company. But Lonzo made his own name at UCLA, bolstered it in the pros, and is now helping lead an impressive Bulls roster after joining the team through a sign-and-trade deal with the New Orleans Pelicans over the summer. In 2021, Lonzo and his brother LaMelo—who plays for the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets—did commercials for Marvel movies “Black Widow” and “Shang-Chi.” Lonzo was also featured on “Ball in the Family,” a reality TV series following the lives of the Ball family.

ALLEN ROBINSON

Wide receiver, Bears* Age: 28

2021 total income: $18.5 million 2021 salary (plus bonuses): $18 million

Contract (year started): $17.9 million; 1 years (2018)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $500,000

Affiliated brands: Gillette, Verizon, Action Network, Hylux

The Bears placed their franchise tag on the team’s top wide receiver for 2021 after his three-year, $42 million deal expired, locking him into a one-year contract with a base salary of nearly $18 million and making him the highest-paid player on the roster. Whether he stays in Chicago next season is one of several big questions facing the franchise in 2022. Robinson stayed busy doing marketing deals for Gillette, Verizon, Action Network and Hylux.

STEPHEN GREEN/CHICAGO CUBS

YASMANI GRANDAL

Catcher, White Sox

Age: 33

2021 total income: $18.4 million 2021 salary (plus bonuses): $18.3 million

Contract (year started): $73 million; 4 years (2020)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $140,0001

Affiliated brands: BM Authentics, Franklin, New Balance, Topps

The veteran White Sox catcher is the highest-paid player on the team, with a base salary of $18.25 million. But he isn’t particularly active on the marketing front, with partnerships limited to baseball apparel-focused brands New Balance and Franklin.

The 33-year-old also owns a multimillion-dollar equity stake in Force3 Pro Gear, a sports safety-oriented equipment company. Grandal, who is entering year three of a four-year, $73 million contract, underwent knee surgery in July and spent nearly two months on the injured list this season.

DALLAS KEUCHEL

Pitcher, White Sox* Age: 33

2021 total income: $18.2 million 2021 salary (plus bonuses): $18 million

Contract (year started): $55.5 million; 3 years (2020)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $175,000

Affiliated brands: Nike, Rawlings Keuchel posted the worst statistical season of his 10-year career in 2021 and was left off the Sox’s playoff rosters as a result. But the veteran southpaw was still one of the highest-paid athletes in the city as he rides a three-year, $55.5 million contract he signed with the South Siders before the 2020 season. Keuchel has earned more than $77 million from MLB contracts so far in his career.

KHALIL MACK

Linebacker, Bears* Age: 30

2021 total income: $18.1 million 2021 salary (plus bonuses): $17.2 million

Contract (year started): $141 million; 6 years (2018)

Estimated marketing income 2021: $850,000

Affiliated brands: Nike, New Era, Fifty Deuce, Mack Trucks

The Bears made Mack the highestpaid defensive player in NFL history in 2018 when they signed him to a six-year, $141 million contract promptly after trading for him. The six-time Pro Bowler remains one of the team’s highest-paid players and supplements his on-field income with deals with Nike and New Era, plus his own official merchandise store, Fifty-Deuce. Mack and the Bears haven’t been able to replicate their 2018 defensive success over the past three years, and the All-Pro linebacker played in only seven games in 2021 before undergoing season-ending foot surgery.

25 Years andStill Going Strong…

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 25 years since we opened our doors for business with just a telephone, card table and two ambulances. Today we operate more than 80 vehicles in our eet, and we continue to grow.

When I started MedEx, I never could have imagined that we would have to face the challenges of a global pandemic, EBOLA outbreaks, labor and supply chain shortages and so much more.

But despite all of that, it has truly been gratifying, rewarding and without question the best 25 years of my life. A big thank you to the MedEx team and to all of our customers, colleagues and friends for your continued partnership and support.

I am truly blessed! Here’s to another 25 successful years!

Rubinson Founder & CEO of MedEx Ambulance Service

CANNABIS CONSOLIDATION

CREATING A SAFER

WORKPLACE

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have taken o in the cannabis industry, as startups and larger companies alike jockey for position in the highly dynamic (and highly regulated) space.

What unique factors can make cannabis M&A transactions different from other M&As?

On the regulatory front, there’s still a lot of uncertainty.

KEVIN SLAUGHTER

Partner

Levenfeld Pearlstein, LLC kslaughter@lplegal.com 312-476-7527

KEVIN SLAUGHTER is a partner in Levenfeld Pearlstein’s Corporate Practice Group. He is a go-to attorney for clients in the cannabis industry, advising them on a range of issues including license applications, corporate governance and funding. Slaughter also assists cannabis clients with organizational structure, real estate matters, branding and licensing agreements and supply agreements. His broader experience includes complex commercial transactions such as M&As, nancing agreements, joint ventures and private offerings.

What’s fueling the recent surge in cannabis M&A activity? Do you think it will subside any time soon?

Kevin Slaughter: e surge in M&A activity has been fueled by two things: erce competition in a highly regulated industry, and on-going valuation compression that has dramatically slowed capital-raising. I expect the surge to continue as larger multi-state operators (MSOs) look to increase market share, enter new markets and scale ahead of federal legalization and traditional industries entering the market. Also, there are some markets that are experiencing over-saturation, which is an environment ripe for M&A activity as smaller companies look to partner to increase market share and reduce costs.

Slaughter: Cannabis companies o en have complex organizational structures to comply with applicable regulations, which may increase diligence costs and di culty of transactions. At a minimum, most cannabis M&A transactions require regulatory approval. at adds a higher level of complexity to cannabis transactions relative to other M&As. For example, where sellers hold conditional licenses, lack necessary capital, and regulatory approval is contingent on operational inspection, the nancial exposure to buyers will increase because they will need to pay signi cant build-out expenses prior to regulatory approval.

Cannabis brands don’t have the demonstrated longevity or persistence that’s achievable in other sectors. How does that shape what buyers consider when embarking on an M&A transaction?

Slaughter: Currently, positive product experience rather than brand loyalty is what drives consumer choice in the cannabis industry. is is a direct result of the complex web of regulations that make it di cult to deliver consistent customer experiences across state lines. e ability of companies to develop brand awareness is also impacted by state regulations that restrict advertising and marketing of cannabis products. MSOs that have vertically-integrated operations in states across the country are in the best position to develop national brands. Many expect 2022 to be the year of the brand. I expect an increased number of licensing deals and joint ventures between MSOs and brands with national potential.

Slaughter: At the federal level, in ghting among cannabis advocates has been an obstacle to major federal reform. Democrats have proposed legislation with broad sweeping reforms, while Republicans prefer incremental reform. I am optimistic that an enhanced version of the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, which reduces the tax burden on cannabis companies, opens capital markets access, and adds equity provisions and an excise tax, will pass in 2022. Until this legislation passes, cannabis companies will continue to face nancing challenges, which will fuel M&A transactions.

Slaughter: I expect more M&A activity (including joint ventures) between larger companies looking to expand and social equity participants that have a license but lack funding. Despite the best intentions of the Illinois legislature and other state legislatures, the reality is that social equity participants typically have limited access to capital—yet cannabis is a capital-intensive industry. e amount of time it takes social equity participants to get to market is usually longer compared to larger companies. In the past year, however, state regulators have become increasingly aggressive in enforcing the requirement that licensees become operational in a timely manner. Accordingly, some equity participants that are awarded cultivation licenses, for example, may nd it increasingly di cult to raise the funds needed to build out their operations fast enough to meet deadlines.

How do you see current and near-term M&A activity shaping the cannabis industry going forward?

Slaughter: e lack of access to capital resources will present M&A opportunities in this capital-intensive industry. Until the SAFE Banking Act or similar legislation is passed, cannabis companies will continue to rely on alternative nancing (with rates as high as 15%) to fund the buildout of operations and/or expansion. While lenders are becoming more comfortable with the nancial sustainability of larger cannabis companies, resulting in better terms, smaller companies still struggle to obtain nancing.

Slaughter: I believe that over the next couple of years, larger MSOs will continue to rely on M&A to increase their market share, enter into new markets, and build scale ahead of federal legalization and traditional industries, such as pharmaceuticals and alcohol, entering the market. As consolidation continues and the current MSOs become more dominant, I also expect smaller companies will nd it increasingly di cult to survive and will partner with other smaller companies to increase market share and reduce costs.

Construction Outlook: Change and Opportunity

Joseph L. Cohen is an experienced litigator and transactional attorney with a national practice that centers on construction, federal government contracting and procurement. His clients include owners, design professionals, general contractors and suppliers.

In the federal contracting sector, Joe’s experience includes construction disputes involving: constructive changes, default terminations, defective specifications, defective work, delays/acceleration, differing site conditions, payment and performance bond claims and prime-sub disputes.

prioritizing and incorporating HVAC needs into their design. Water fountains have been replaced with ltered water dispensers. And where collaboration space once owed at the end of every corner, nook and cranny, designated meeting spaces are now more intentional, isolated and larger. All of these trends are expected to continue given a predominant “just in case” mindset.

Joe also has extensive experience in commercial and real estate-related litigation, particularly construction litigation and disputes involving mechanics liens. He represents a wide range of Chicago-based, national and international companies involved in construction-related businesses, drafting and negotiating agreements for construction projects and advising clients at every stage in the construction process.

He also frequently represents and advises clients on corporate governance, regulatory and business issues.

JOSEPH L. COHEN Partner

Fox Rothschild LLP jlcohen@foxrothschild.com (312) 980-3876

CRAIN’S: What are a couple of the biggest impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on design in the residential or commercial space? Which changes do you think are fads and which ones do you think are here to stay?

JOSEPH L. COHEN: For residential space, the mindset has changed from designated, de ned single-purpose rooms (i.e., the kitchen, bedroom, of ce or dining room) to more exible interior spaces. Designs now routinely incorporate sliding doors and moving walls that expand or contract the amount of of ce or entertainment space to accommodate the inhabitants’ mood or purpose. For outside, the focus has changed to improved external amenities, including porches and verandas (with re features and heating lamps) for entertaining.

In the commercial context and as companies reassess their overall space needs, design professionals are increasingly

CRAIN’S: What are some of the primary ways you see Chicagoarea contractors giving back or making an impact on their community?

COHEN: A prime example of the construction industry’s largesse is through its support of the Chicago Builds program. Chicago Builds is a citywide, twoyear, off-campus construction training program for CPS students interested in pursuing careers in the construction industry after graduation.

Participating students receive technical training in Carpentry, Electricity, HVAC, Welding and General Construction. Under this work-based learning program, students can earn industryrecognized certi cations, prepare for union entrance exams and participate in paid work experiences with prospective employers.

CRAIN’S: What role is technology playing in the industry and what impact is it having on data security initiatives?

COHEN: Recent advances in technology (collaborative digital tools like BIM, for example)

permit design document updates to be disseminated to contractors in real time and provide cloud-based remote access to project drawings from anywhere, even on a mobile device. Data privacy and security issues loom large, particularly where coveted intellectual property or sensitive information can be hacked. The Department of Defense (DOD) has launched Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certi cation (CMMC) 2.0, a comprehensive framework to protect the defense industrial base’s information from “foreign and domestic threats.” However, the government appears to primarily rely upon its prime contractors to police their own and their subcontractors’ and material suppliers’ compliance with CMMC.

CRAIN’S: What are construction companies doing to support the emotional wellbeing of their employees? Are their efforts enough or do they need to do more?

COHEN: In 2019, 1,061 construction workers died from work-related injuries. However, 5,500 died from suicide, more than ve times that number. Construction industry leaders are keenly aware of this statistic. The rst question I typically encounter, is “Are there resources available?” The answer is a resounding “yes.” To plug a few, “2 Tuff 2 Talk” encourages workers to seek help. So does Facebook’s “#OpenUp.” There are others. On the issue of whether construction companies can do more, the executives I have spoken with on this issue have (rightly, in my opinion)

recognized that to be effective, even the best quality programs need employees to feel comfortable accessing them.

CRAIN’S: What types of government contracts do you anticipate will be pursued the most aggressively by Chicago area contractors in the near future?

COHEN: For aerospace and technology-based contractors, it is no secret that the U.S. government is in a technology race with China. The Department of Defense has Other Transaction Authority (OTA) to award contracts for (1) research, (2) prototypes, and (3) production purposes. Because OTAs are not covered by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), the agreements can be nimble and adaptable. The DOD’s use of OTAs in recent years has exploded.

For pure defense contractors, Russia’s aggression in Ukraine has depleted stockpiles and reserves. Look for increased spending to replenish the government’s inventories. For brick-and-mortar government contractors, opportunities abound in Guam (which is curiously close to China). Look for teaming opportunities to develop infrastructure in the western Paci c Ocean. Those that want to work closer to home should stay focused on projects stemming from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

COOLEST OFFICES

If you build it, will they come? Offices have morphed from traditional layouts with staid cubes and poor lighting to open floor plans with multiple workspace options and choice amenities. In 2020, the pandemic catapulted employees from their corner offices to the corners of their living rooms or wherever they could snatch space. Slowly, they’re trickling back to the office, where the collaborative magic can happen. Employers are not holding back in their efforts to lure employees to the office. They have made significant investments to their infrastructure and are offering extras such as whiskey lounges, rooftop spaces and private phone booths. Get a peek here at offices—all of which opened or were remodeled in the past couple of years—we deemed the coolest.

BEST NEW EVENT SPACES

Looking for a place to host a business event, holiday party or large corporate gathering? Here are business-appropriate event spaces that opened during, or just before, the pandemic, or which took the opportunity while closed to revamp. We focused mainly on spots in or close to downtown Chicago (with a few suburban places sprinkled in) that are conducive to business events. If you notice a spot that’s missing, it could be because representatives did not return our numerous requests for information. By
