CRAIN’S 2024

Welcome to The Book Throughout the year, Crain’s Chicago Business delivers a suite of data-driven lists and features designed to help you better understand this dynamic and ever-changing city. And as we transition to the new year, we gather those features together into one handy reference guide, knowing it will be an indispensable resource in the year ahead. That guide is what we now know as The Book. What you’re holding is, however, much more than a compendium of lists. It’s 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. This year’s edition also highlights a revised and updated version of Crain’s Who’s Who in Chicago, a directory of the leaders, investors and innovators who make this city tick. 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 executives and advocates making a difference in every corner of Chicago’s business, civic, cultural and philanthropic worlds. And given the profound changes that have taken place in the past year in Chicago’s executive landscape, the latest Who’s Who contains even more names and faces than before, making it 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, online and at our live events in 2024. JIM KIRK Group publisher and executive editor ANN DWYER Editor

WHO’S WHO IN CHICAGO BUSINESS Crain’s exclusive Who’s Who is back with over 400 names you should know. Since last year’s publication, Chicago has elected a new mayor and seen subsequent shake-ups in City Hall, faced comings and goings among corporate and civic leaders, celebrated emerging movers and shakers and said goodbye to veteran figureheads.

SPONSORED CONTENT

The importance of local solutions in addressing global climate challenges Dr. Ashish Sharma is the Climate and Urban Sustainability Lead at the Discovery Partners Institute, part of the University of Illinois System. He is faculty in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at UIUC and holds a joint appointment as a Climate Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. Sharma has expertise in atmospheric sciences, focusing on regional climate and air quality, assessing adaptation and mitigation strategies. Through collaborative research across science, engineering, social sciences and policy, he studies environmental justice issues including highimpact weather. He has received funding for his work from the U.S. DOE, NSF, NASA, Walder Foundation and IBM.

Is climate change real? The truth is unequivocal: climate change is indeed real. It is underpinned by a robust scientific consensus that our planet’s climate is in a state of transformation, driven predominantly by human activities. The emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), into the atmosphere is at the heart of this phenomenon. These gasses act as a heattrapping blanket, leading to a steady increase in global temperatures. This global warming is giving rise to more frequent and severe climate extremes and extreme weather events, costing many lives and many billions of dollars. The urgency to address this global challenge cannot be overstated. It necessitates a concerted effort to curtail greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy sources and adapt to the

evolving climate. The time to act is right now. What can my business do to help mitigate the impact of climate change? By introducing sustainability initiatives, energy efficiency and responsible supply chain practices, you can reduce your company’s carbon footprint. Depending on your industry, you could also transition to cleaner energy sources and adopt circular economy principles to reduce waste. Moreover, you could provide climate change education to your workforce. Such education fosters awareness and understanding of the issue, particularly in this digital age saturated with misinformation. Employers are among the most trusted entities by their employees, and empowering them to adopt climate-friendly practices can fuel innovation and provide a competitive edge for the business. At DPI, we are assisting corporations in making them climateready and providing climate education to their workforce. Do you have an example of what we could be doing with our workforce? Certainly! DPI is actively collaborating with ComEd on two initiatives. The first involves precision tree planting, specifically targeting urban areas to enhance afforestation and increase climate resilience. This scientific collaboration equips the utility provider with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions, enabling them to better support vulnerable, high-risk communities frequently impacted by heatwaves. Simultaneously,

it reinforces the resilience of ComEd’s infrastructure to withstand the impacts of climate change. The second centers on developing climate education modules, aligning with their commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Both efforts exemplify how businesses can effectively train their workforce to address climate-related challenges. How will DPI minimize its environmental impact with its new innovation hub at The 78? Our groundbreaking at The 78 next year will mark the beginning of the transformation of a long-

neglected brownfield site into a major transit-oriented development with CTA access, ferry stop, and bicycle and pedestrian pathways. The building’s design includes a façade optimized for energy performance that integrates solar shading with natural daylighting. While it features large areas of glass, those surfaces will be treated with a bird-safe frit pattern, minimizing impacts to migratory bird populations while maximizing views of the outdoors. Water and energy usage will be reduced through metering and specific fixtures. The building is on track to achieve LEED Gold certification when it opens.

Proactively guard your brand, inventions and products in the global market Tom Duston is a hands-on trial lawyer, focusing on patent litigation for some of the world's most sophisticated companies. With 35+ years of experience, he has been lead counsel in 150+ patent infringement matters. Tom is praised by clients and adversaries alike for his creativity and tenacity as a trial attorney. Ben Horton is an electrical engineer turned IP litigator, representing some of the world’s largest companies in complex, high-tech disputes. He also represents cutting-edge R&D companies, institutions, and mass-market consumer products companies. No matter the company’s size or where they are in their business life cycle, Ben takes a collaborative, businessminded approach to helping clients achieve their goals.

usinesses face critical challenges in protecting their brand identity and inventions. The ease of counterfeiting and the interconnected nature of the modern world make these challenges acute. Taking proactive measures to address those challenges can help. Assessing which company intellectual property assets need to be protected, and which assets are top priorities is essential. From there, developing ongoing policies, procedures and strategies which leverage different types of protection (e.g., trademark, trade dress, design patent, utility patent) for relevant assets on an ongoing basis will serve the business well. When infringement happens, understanding cost-effective

solutions, including focusing on high-impact cases or multi-defendant procedures, will help the company get the most from its legal budget. With the rise of e-commerce, how have online marketplaces evolved in terms of their commitment to brand protection, and what role do they play in enforcing intellectual property rights? Online shopping platforms are rife with counterfeit products, fake online stores posing as legitimate retail outlets and marketplaces for infringing products interspersed with legitimate, IP-protected products. Many marketplaces have takedown procedures using website form submissions for trademark and copyright infringement, but most do not have a mechanism for enforcing patent rights. However, Amazon has established its APEX proceedings, which are the gold standard for helping intellectual property owners enforce their rights. Using either a design patent or a utility patent, a seller may report infringement through Amazon’s website, and if Amazon deems the complaint to be worthy, it will inform the allegedly infringing seller that APEX has been initiated. The seller then has a few weeks to respond. An unresponsive seller defaults, and the reported product is removed. If the seller responds, Amazon appoints a neutral patent evaluator who reviews briefs from both sides and makes a ruling. The process takes about eight weeks. The expense is minimal, and the remedy is powerful. The ITC plays a significant role in controlling the flow of infringing products. Could you explain the jurisdiction and requirements of ITC proceedings and how they benefit businesses?

It is both easier and more difficult to obtain ITC jurisdiction compared to district courts. It’s easier because the ITC has jurisdiction over products, not people or entities. Federal district courts have in personam jurisdiction, which is Latin for “against a person.” The ITC, on the other hand, has in rem jurisdiction, which means “against a thing.” The ITC may have jurisdiction over anything that enters the United States, even if the person or company that made and shipped that thing is exclusively in a foreign country and would otherwise not be reachable by a U.S. district court.

prong, which means a patent owner must make a product that practices the patented invention, and an economic prong, which requires the patent owner to prove that it has made a significant investment in the U.S. in things like employees, physical space, equipment, or R&D. ITC actions can be worth the effort, however, because they are significantly faster than the traditional court system; costs to judgment can be less; and the ITC’s h exclusion order remedies are powerful because they can stop the importation of an infringing product at the border before the acts of infringement take place.

It’s more difficult because the ITC, unlike a district court, requires a domestic industry. A domestic industry has two components: a technical

NOTABLE WOMEN IN STEM STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the quartet of hard sciences that has historically employed a dearth of women — at last count, 28%, according to data from the American Association of University Women. The 100 STEM professionals profiled here are most assuredly changing that. They mentor at their companies and volunteer at Chicago-area nonprofits dedicated to introducing girls — particularly girls of color — to STEM careers. Even more critically, their careers as physicians, biologists, neuroscientists, physicists, architects, engineers, computer scientists, technologists, STEM educators and leaders of STEM nonprofits prove to young women that there is plenty of room for them in the wide-ranging, creative and lucrative world that is STEM. —By Lisa Bertagnoli METHODOLOGY: The individuals featured did not pay to be included. Their profiles were written from the nomination materials submitted. This list is not comprehensive. It includes only individuals for whom nominations were submitted and accepted after a review by editors. To qualify for the list, nominees must serve in a senior STEM role at their places of employment, live and work in the Chicago area, and demonstrate leadership through mentoring, involvement in professional organizations and participation in community and civic initiatives.

A conversation with Valarie King-Bailey, Founder and CEO of OnShore Technology Group Valarie King-Bailey is the founder and CEO of OnShore Technology Group - a Chicago-based technology company providing advanced regulatory compliance software and services to life sciences companies. She has over 38 years of international executive management and engineering experience.

What sets OnShore Technology Group apart from its competitors in the technology industry? OnShore Technology Group serves the life sciences industry, which is highly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) and other global regulators. These agencies place strict controls on the processes and systems used in the manufacture and distribution of drugs, biologics, medical devices, and other therapies that support patient health and wellness. These computer systems and quality processes must be independently validated to ensure they perform as intended. At OnShore, our independent verification and validation (IV&V) services and solutions go beyond checking the boxes required for regulatory compliance; they reduce the complexity, minimize the expense and significantly shorten the time to compliance. With OnShore products and services, including our ValidationMaster™ Enterprise Digital IV&V Platform, our clients don’t just meet regulatory requirements, they master compliance, which enables them to bring new drugs and therapies to market faster.

How does OnShore Technology Group stay up-to-date with the latest technology, trends and advancements? Technology today often moves at the speed of thought. To keep up, we monitor the industry we serve by attending conferences that discuss both the latest regulatory requirements as well as the newest technology trends for life sciences companies. Through ValidationMaster™, we successfully automated IV&V of computer systems for life sciences clients. With our new TestMaster AI module, we are the first to bring artificial intelligence and machine learning to validation testing. The industry is moving towards what they call Pharma 4.0., the next generation of technology for life sciences industries. We have a finger on the pulse of change, and we are innovating and constantly updating our applications to keep our clients on the brink of advanced technology. Could you share some examples of successful projects or client collaborations that OnShore Technology Group has undertaken?

an eQMS originally intended to manage 200+ users. OnShore delivered the system on time and within budget, leveraging advanced technology from Microsoft as the system’s foundation. How do you approach digital transformation and help clients adapt to rapidly changing technology landscapes? Digitally connected systems allow life sciences organizations to manage endto-end supply chain, validation and other quality or regulatory processes essential to business operations.

transformation by fully automating the validation process. More importantly, we are helping clients understand the effectiveness of their quality processes. We are paving the way with innovation. We embed digital signature technologies, automated testing, self-healing test scripts through AI/ML and much more for a one-stop validation experience that crosses borders and spans the globe.

NOTABLE LEADERS IN FINANCE Now that pandemic-related financial emergencies have more or less subsided, what are notable financial leaders in the Chicago area doing with their time? Plenty. They are opening bank branches, acquiring companies, securing new clients, closing major deals and working out creative financing for buildings and other infrastructure projects. They are promoting diversity efforts at their companies and throughout the industry; they are mentoring younger talent; they are supporting the city with multimillion-dollar and even billion-dollar commitments to underserved communities and overlooked populations. Altogether, their work is making our corner of the globe an even stronger presence in the world of money. —By Lisa Bertagnoli METHODOLOGY: The individuals featured did not pay to be included.

NOTABLE LEADERS IN SUSTAINABILITY The 66 leaders profiled here all are innovating, and then some, on sustainability’s “reduce, reuse, recycle” mantra. They have launched programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of garbage that goes to landfills. Initiatives they are championing cut back on water waste and save electricity. Buildings they design, both commercial and multifamily homes, make liberal use of existing materials. These leaders have devised ingenious ways to recycle all sorts of objects, from railroad ties to industrial boilers. But wait—there’s more. They are conserving our area’s local forests, expanding our green spaces, tackling threats to our abundance of clean water and cleaning up neglected areas in underserved communities. Together, their efforts are setting the stage for a greener future. —By Lisa Bertagnoli METHODOLOGY: The individuals featured did not pay to be included.

NOTABLE LEADERS IN DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION Notable leaders in DEI are entrusted with making sure their organizations create and maintain a workforce, supplier chain and ecosystem that represents all people, regardless of such factors as skin tone, gender, age bracket or physical and neurological characteristics. DEI leaders find novel ways to accomplish this work. They establish mentorships and scholarships and create, nurture and sponsor employee resource groups. They also, via corporate or personal philanthropy, volunteer for and financially support nonprofits dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion in the Chicago area. —By Lisa Bertagnoli METHODOLOGY: The individuals featured did not pay to be included. Their profiles were written from the nomination materials submitted. This list is not comprehensive. It includes only individuals for whom nominations were submitted and accepted after a review by editors. To qualify for the list, nominees must serve in a senior DEI role at their places of employment, live and work in the Chicago area and demonstrate leadership through mentoring, involvement in professional organizations and participation in community and civic initiatives.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE LISTMAKERS 96 | CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS | THE BOOK

John Wober President Airbrands

Sandra Yamate CEO Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession

NOTABLE LEADERS IN HEALTH CARE The health care innovators profiled here helped Chicago cope with the COVID-19 pandemic and, in some cases, are still doing so, while providing mental, physical and dental health services to an array of demographics. They have launched pilot programs and outreach efforts to address health care access gaps, from using technology to simplify appointment scheduling; building and offering culturally appropriate telehealth and telepsychiatry services; and offering ambulatory services at health fairs, wellness exams in schools, and fresh produce-based “farmacy” initiatives that marry nutrition and wellness. If Ralph Waldo Emerson was correct when he wrote “the first health is wealth,” then these health care leaders are making the Chicago area a richer place indeed. —By Lisa Bertagnoli METHODOLOGY: The individuals featured did not pay to be included. Their profiles were written from the nomination materials submitted. This list is not comprehensive. It includes only individuals for whom nominations were submitted and accepted after a review by editors. To qualify for the list, nominees must live and work in the Chicago area and be employed at a health care organization — be it a hospital, health care provider or health insurance firm — and have at least 10 years of experience in the field. They must be involved in expanding the business, services or technology at their organization; promote diversity and inclusion; and demonstrate leadership in professional organizations and civic and community initiatives..

PRIMARY INDUSTRY

Research by Sophie Rodgers (sophie.rodgers@crain.com). | Includes large employers with primary headquarters outside Cook, Kane, Lake, DuPage, Will, and

McHenry counties in Illinois and Lake County in Indiana. Figures estimated by Crain’s are produced using various sources of information about the companies and their industries. Other information is from the companies and public sources. Top Chicago-area executives are included when available. In cases where we’ve published a full-time local employment figure alongside a worldwide figure that includes part-time employees, the percentage of employees in Chicago should be taken as a rough approximation. NOTES: e. Crain's estimate. 1. Includes part-time employees. Originally published: July 10, 2023

HIGHEST-EARNING ATHLETES

CHICAGO CUBS

CHICAGO BULLS

Ranked by 2022 total income

Zach LaVine

DeMar DeRozan

Marcus Stroman

Shooting guard, Bulls Last year’s rank: 2 Age: 27 2022 total income: $46.1 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $37.1 million Contract (year started): $215.2 million; 5 years (2017) Estimated marketing income: $9 million Affiliated brands: New Balance, Mountain Dew, CarMax, Cherrish, Klarna, Midwest Express Clinic The two-time All-Star left Bulls fans waiting with bated breath after he completed his four-year, $78 million contract last season. To Chicago’s relief, LaVine agreed to a five-year, $215 million max contract extension, making him the highest-paid Bulls player by millions. Having ranked No. 2 on last year’s list with a total income of $27 million, the 27-year-old continues to boost his fortune off-court. After LaVine’s four-year, $35 million shoe deal with Adidas expired in 2021, the NBA star signed a multiyear contract with New Balance.

Small forward, Bulls Last year’s rank: 1 Age: 33 2022 total income: $31.8 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $27.3 million Contract (year started): $81.9 million; 3 years (2021) Estimated marketing income: $4.5 million Affiliated brands: Gatorade, Nike, Spalding, Klipsch Audio After the Bulls picked up DeRozan from the San Antonio Spurs in 2021, the five-time All-Star clinched last year’s No. 1 spot on Crain’s list with a total income of $30 million. Despite the two-time All-NBA player’s exciting performance in this season’s opener (his 37 points were the most scored in a Bulls season opener since Michael Jordan), the team has struggled so far this season.

Pitcher, Cubs Last year’s rank: Not rated Age: 31 2022 total income: $25.4 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $25 million Contract (year started): $71 million; 3 years (2022) Estimated marketing income: $400,000 Affiliated brands: Shugo, Therabody Stroman is new to Crain’s list since signing with the Cubs in December 2021 after two seasons with the New York Mets. With a base salary of $25 million in 2022, Stroman earned nearly double what Kyle Hendricks (the second-highest-paid Cubs player) made this past season, thanks to a three-year, $71 million contract. The MLB veteran has earned about $65.5 million from nine seasons in the league, according to Spotrac. Off the field, the 31-year-old announced plans last year to debut his own brand of footwear, dubbed Shugo, after previously sporting Jordan Brand and Adidas cleats. *No longer with team THE BOOK | CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS | 125

CHICAGO WHITE SOX

CHICAGO BULLS

CRAIN’S LIST HIGHEST-EARNING ATHLETES

Lonzo Ball

Nikola Vucevic

Lance Lynn

Point guard, Bulls Last year’s rank: 5 Age: 25 2022 total income: $23 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $19.5 million Contract (year started): $85 million; 4 years (2021) Estimated marketing income: $3.5 million Affiliated brands: C4 Energy, Foot Locker, Uber, Heir App Despite making Crain’s top five this year with a total income of $23 million, Ball has not played a game since last January after he tore his meniscus. The NBA star underwent knee surgery (for a third time) in late September and is still recovering. But he stays busy off-court with marketing deals for Foot Locker, C4 Energy and ads for the movie “Bullet Train.” Ball maintains his presence in the sports and pop culture spotlight, thanks in part to being a member of one of the most popular NBA families, bolstered by his father, LaVar. Ball made his own name at UCLA, strengthened it in the pros, and has helped lead the Bulls after joining through a sign-and-trade deal with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Center, Bulls Last year’s rank: 3 Age: 32 2022 total income: $22.5 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $22 million Contract (year started): $100 million; 4 years (2020) Estimated marketing income: $500,000 Affiliated brands: Nike The Bulls acquired this two-time All-Star in a March 2021 deal with the Orlando Magic. Vucevic leads the Bulls in rebounds this year but has fallen on the list to No. 5 from last year’s No. 3. He earned $26 million in the 2020-21 season, $24 million last season and $22 million this season. Since the Montenegrin NBA veteran maintains a low profile off-court, Crain’s estimates he earns significantly less than his teammates in marketing income.

Pitcher, White Sox Last year’s rank: 22 Age: 35 2022 total income: $18.7 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $18.5 million Contract (year started): $38 million; 2 years (2021) Estimated marketing income: $150,000 Affiliated brands: Nike The two-time All-Star saw the biggest increase in total income from last year’s list. Lynn bumped his way up from No. 22 (having earned $8.3 million) to No. 6, thanks to a two-year, $38 million contract extension. The 35-year-old pitcher debuted with the White Sox last year, when he made his second career All-Star team and finished third in voting for the American League Cy Young Award. Lynn started the 2022 season on the injured list after undergoing knee surgery to repair a torn tendon. The South Sider maintains a low profile off-field, though he’s affiliated with Nike.

Yasmani Grandal

Yoan Moncada

Kyle Hendricks

Catcher, White Sox Last year’s rank: 7 Age: 34 2022 total income: $18.4 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $18.3 million Contract (year started): $73 million; 4 years (2020) Estimated marketing income: $140,0001 Affiliated brands: BM Authentics, Franklin, New Balance, Topps The veteran White Sox catcher keeps his No. 7 ranking from last year, when he was the highest-paid player among the South Siders. Now the second-highest-paid Sox player, Grandal is bringing home the same amount in 2022: $18.4 million. However, the bulk of that total comes from his base salary. The two-time All-Star isn’t active in marketing, and mainly has partnerships with baseball apparel-focused brands New Balance and Franklin. The 34-year-old also has a multimillion-dollar equity stake in Force3 Pro Gear and is an investor in Perfect Game Holdings.

Third baseman, White Sox Last year’s rank: Not rated Age: 27 2022 total income: $14.1 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $14 million Contract (year started): $70 million; 5 years (2017) Estimated marketing income: $140,000 Affiliated brands: Nike The 27-year-old third baseman is new to Crain’s list after six seasons with the White Sox. Entering his seventh season with the South Siders, Moncada has broken into Crain’s top 10 with $14.1 million in total income. The MLB veteran has made $23.7 million during his White Sox tenure, according to Spotrac, and is heading into his fourth year of a five-year contract extension he signed in 2020. Moncada maintains a low profile off-field, but he’s affiliated with Nike.

Pitcher, Cubs Last year’s rank: 13 Age: 33 2022 total income: $14.1 million 2022 salary (plus bonuses): $14 million Contract (year started): $55.5 million; 4 years (2014) Estimated marketing income: $100,0001 Affiliated brands: Fanatics, Rawlings, New Balance The veteran North Sider is the last remaining Cubs player from the 2016 World Series championship team. Heading into his 10th season with the club, he has finally broken into the top 10 on our list. Nicknamed “The Professor,” the 33-year-old pitcher earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Dartmouth College in 2013. He went on to make his MLB debut the following year. Hendricks has earned more than $46 million from his nine seasons with the Cubs, according to Spotrac, and is heading into the fifth and final year of his contract.

MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES Follow the bouncing ball of innovation in Chicago and you’ll find companies that were investing heavily in artificial intelligence long before most of us typed our first ChatGPT prompts. Others are using vast amounts of data to reinvent sports and trucking. There also are innovators tackling new challenges we’ll encounter in a world filling up with electric vehicles, as well as entrepreneurs who have come up with new ways to make old products better. Our Most Innovative Companies list is based on an evaluation of the patents awarded to Chicago companies in 2022, as assessed by Ocean Tomo, an advisory, investment-banking and consulting firm specializing in intellectual property. Ocean Tomo, which is part of J.S. Held, averages the scores of the individual patents received by each company. To qualify, a company must have been awarded at least three patents.

A conversation with Tom Jackiewicz, President of University of Chicago Health System Tom Jackiewicz is president of the University of Chicago Health System. He oversees the $5 billion, sevenhospital clinical enterprise that integrates the patient care mission of the University of Chicago Health System with the education and research missions of UChicago Medicine. His career has focused on executing ambitious and broad transformations in academic environments and engaging physician leaders to drive organizational change. A strategic visionary, Jackiewicz has ushered in eras of substantial growth and improvement in academic health systems across the country including Keck Medicine of USC and University of California, San Diego Health System.

What sets UChicago Medicine apart from other healthcare organizations? If I had to choose one, it would be our commitment to health equity. Our decade of focus has produced substantial progress, including increasing access to care in under-served communities and improved hiring and promotion of underrepresented minorities. We’ve become disciplined about using an equity lens in everything we do. Our annual operating plan integrates DEI goals into our people, patients and quality and safety pillars. This work is overdue in the industry and critical to UChicago Medicine’s mission. What role does culture play in your ambitions at UChicago Medicine? The phrase “culture eats strategy for lunch” is familiar

because it rings true in most situations. Culture sits at the foundation of everything we do at UChicago Medicine. Our ambitions – growth, equity, integration, building infrastructure – will falter if we can’t get the culture right. How have you addressed culture at UChicago Medicine? We recently created new mission, vision and value statements. We brought together almost 4,000 people across the organization and community to contribute their perspectives. This work is serving as a foundational element for our culture. It has helped us create a holistic view of our system and build alignment around key initiatives and growth. You use sports analogies to communicate leadership lessons. What’s one of your favorite analogies? “We’re great between the 20’s” is a football phrase that carries a lot of irony. It means your offense can easily move the ball from your 20-yard line to the opponent’s 20-yard line but is unable to score a touchdown. This shortcoming also happens in healthcare organizations. Plans move forward but are not fully executed. While progress is helpful, to be successful, you must fully execute the plan. What’s your role in ensuring execution is successful? Initiatives often stall when executives fail to position their teams for success. As leaders, we can’t toss out ambitious plans and hope they are implemented. We must use our understanding of a team’s capabilities and create plans that maximize strengths and mitigate weaknesses. It’s our

job to set up our teams for success. What have you learned during your career about building strong physician relationships? Working well with physicians is a skill I’ve tried to refine during my career. I have the added advantage of being married to a physician. One area my wife, Dr. Carol Peden, has coached me on is engaging physicians in initiatives they believe are important and then involving physicians early and often in change efforts.

stay among academic health systems. Instead of going to our physicians and asking them to fix the problem, we first went through a rigorous process of identifying operational opportunities that were the medical center’s responsibility to fix. We simplified the work environment for physicians and lightened their load before we asked for changes in physician practice. We hope this work will set the stage for other initiatives where physician engagement and trust are needed.

UChicago Medicine recently rolled out an initiative that moved us from the bottom to the top quartile for length of

COOLEST OFFICES With open floor plans and movable furniture, employees working in offices today enjoy more flexibility. They can work from an upholstered booth, a tufted leather sofa or a sunlit rooftop. They can manage and make executive decisions while seated at a bar, with a cappuccino or otherwise. The lucky ones also can indulge in food from a gourmet kitchen or relax in a steam shower in the spa. Here, in our annual Coolest Offices Contest, we showcase the best-designed places Chicagoans work. The winners were chosen by design writer Zlata Kozul Naumovski and Jan Parr, a Crain’s editor and former shelter magazine editor. By Zlata Kozul Naumovski Originally published: June 5, 2023

BEST NEW EVENT SPACES IN CHICAGO

It’s not enough to entertain clients or colleagues with some chicken and a glass of wine these days. About half of the new event spaces in the Chicago area this year have an interactive element to them, ranging from areas where guests can show off their golf skills to entire rooms filled with “sprinkle” pools (picture a ball pit replaced with plastic sprinkles). The slew of spaces with interactive elements reflects our growing need to be constantly entertained. Here are business-appropriate event spaces that have opened or been renovated in the past year or so. We focused mainly on spots in or close to downtown Chicago (with a few outliers thrown in) that are conducive to business events. We’ve included contact phone numbers where available.

Culture, food and history make Chicago a prime choice for business meetings As guests seek out social business outings, Chicago provides the perfect setting Luckily, Chicago easily fits the bill with its lively yet intimate culture, outstanding culinary scene and central location falling just halfway between the East and West Coasts.

By Ashley Zlatopolsky

ew York and Los Angeles may be revered for their variety of top-tier experiences, but many hospitality and event leaders believe Chicago takes the lead for business meetings. “Chicago stands out as a premier meeting destination, boasting iconic and award-winning restaurants that blend sophisticated spaces with warm hospitality, and whose expertise lies in producing unique, personalized events,” said Haley Norman, event sales director for DineAmic Hospitality. Not only does Chicago rival the coastal giants, but it offers a more relaxed atmosphere primed for creating community, connection and standout events.

It’s a unique trait tough to find in large cities, but Chicago makes a big city feel intimately small. Then, of course, there's the unmatched scenery and culture. “Chicago is filled with museums and events, dynamic theater, live music clubs showcasing everything from blues to rock, plus two scenic waterfronts bordered by parks and sandy beaches,” said Kristi Widgery, director of events experience at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. These attributes, among many others, are why Chicago continues to shine as one of the go-to locations for company meetings. Plus, “being centrally-located is

P183_197_CCB_20231211.indd 184

There’s the small-town feel nestled within a sprawling and modern metropolis, but Chicago’s celebrated history is another key draw for business leaders near and far when it comes to corporate events, company get-togethers and client outings. “Having a 299-seat theater, an exclusive grand main event space, private outdoor park space in the heart of Lincoln Park and one-ofa-kind exhibitions help us connect visitors locally and from all over the world to the city of Chicago and its history,” said Lorelei Kroulaidis, special events director at the Chicago History Museum. Little touches, like incorporating a taste of Chicago into the food and beverage experiences offered at the Chicago History Museum and beyond, further build that special connection for guests. “We even had a Malort tasting station to truly give attendees a [real] Chicago experience,” Kroulaidis explained of a recent event that drew 1,200 attendees from all over the world. When you’re going from meeting to meeting, it’s these small efforts

that make Chicago events memorable. “Often, meeting attendees go to multiple events throughout the year, so small, personalized touches go a long way,” said Catie Walsh, director of sales and marketing at Waldorf Astoria Chicago. Still, depending on where in Chicago your event is held, guests can feel confident in having a new experience each and every time. “Chicago is a world-class city where each neighborhood is bursting with its own unique culture, cuisine, architecture and landmarks,” Walsh explained. The Waldorf Astoria Chicago, for example, is uniquely situated to provide an intimate meeting experience within the hotel but is also located in the heart of the Gold Coast, which Walsh said is the ideal epicenter to explore the city when your meetings are over. This year, Chicago hospitality and event leaders are also seeing an uptick in clients seeking out social connections at events, rather than traditional seated dinners that were the norm the past few years. “Chef-driven experiences, networking receptions and panel discussions have been trending popularly over the past year,” Larson said.

With those traditional (and sometimes uneventful) business dinners taking a back seat, interactive events have also given staff an incredible opportunity to “exercise their creativity and be more involved with the guest experience,” Larson noted. Emily Dreckshage, event sales manager at upscale Chicago steakhouse Maple & Ash, said few cities in the U.S. have as diverse accommodations and vibrant cultural scenes as Chicago, which stands out as a melting pot of one-of-a-kind experiences. It’s why locals and visitors alike continue to choose Chicago time and time again for all of their business meeting needs, even as those meetings take on a more social approach. “It’s an ideal place for networking,” she said of Chicago. “As a culinary destination that caters to varied palettes and elevates the overall meeting experience, attendees leave with not only business connections but unforgettable memories as well.”

“You’ll still find top-class convention centers, Michelin Star restaurants and experiential activities, but the pace and community here can’t be beat,” explained Madison Larson, event sales director for Chicago restaurant group Sancerre Hospitality. “Our out-of-town clients always comment on how welcomed and cared for they feel in our city.”

great for our bi-coastal clients who are looking for a middle-ground meeting location,” Larson added.

“Clients are drawn to community and experiences at present, and we're fortunate as a company to be able to provide spaces for both,” Larson added. “Whether it's a private board dinner at Rose Mary with a cooking demo from Chef Joe Flamm, or a cocktail reception at BLVD Steakhouse with a live band and special-ordered beverage from a client's winery, we're able to tailor an experience to have guests excited for more than just another business dinner.”
