LEADERSHIP

NEW FACES IN NEW PLACES

Bil

The companies, institutions and nonprofits that drive Northeast Ohio got a shot in the arm this year from people in new leadership positions. Here’s a look at the backgrounds of some of the talented executives who are helping to make the region stronger.

Debi Boffa

Jon Bostock

Chief operating officer

University Circle Inc.

The Reserves Network

TravelCenters of America

Leaf Home

TravelCenters of America will play a critical role in BP’s ongoing pivot from a business historically focused on oil and gas into an “integrated energy company,” said Debi Boffa, who officially stepped in as the Westlake company’s CEO on Sept. 1. BP has publicly shared plans to invest $1 billion in EV charging capabilities across the U.S. by 2030, fostering expansion of its BP Pulse fleet and public charging network from some 22,000 charge points globally to 100,000. An estimated 25% of TA locations will be outfitted with EV charging in the “coming years,” Boffa said, with gaps to be filled in through 2030. Boffa is a BP veteran who most recently was president of the company’s retail operating organization. In 2021 she was named president of Thornton’s following BP’s acquisition of that business. Prior to that, she was managing director of BP New Zealand.

Hudson-based Leaf Home, the parent of LeafFilter and other home services companies, in March announced that its board has appointed Jon Bostock as CEO on a permanent basis, in March announced that its board has appointed Jon Bostock as CEO. Bostock was named interim CEO of Leaf Home in August 2022 and in the months since then has “developed a strategic vision for the company that he will now bring to fruition as CEO,” the company said in a news release. When Bostock took over as interim CEO, he replaced Jeff Housenbold, a venture capitalist who had been hired in November 2021. The company said Bostock’s strategic plan “focuses on positioning Leaf Home as the leading direct-to-consumer home improvement business through its end-to-end customer experience, product innovation and its expansive team of professionals.” According to Crain’s research, the company had 853 full-timeequivalent employees in Northeast Ohio as of June 30, 2022. Revenue for the company in 2021 was $1.4 billion.

The vacancy left after Chris Ronayne announced he would step down as president of University Circle Inc. to run for Cuyahoga County Executive was filled by Kate Borders, who came to the job from her position as president of Downtown Tempe Authority & Downtown Tempe Foundation in Arizona. Borders began her tenure as UCI’s president on June 12. Gary Hanson, the former executive director of the Cleveland Orchestra, had served as UCI’s interim president since October 2021. Borders, who has 20 years of experience in the field, is a nationally recognized leader in urban development and place management. In her Arizona job, Borders worked with Tempe’s merchants, property owners, city leaders and Arizona State University to foster downtown renewal. She also chairs the International Downtown Association, a research and public policy organization with more than 575 members worldwide that supports the creation of city centers, commercial neighborhoods and urban places.

The Reserves Network (TRN), a Fairview Park-based staffing agency, appointed Laura Bowen as its first chief operating officer, effective Feb. 20. Bowen has more than 25 years of experience in the staffing industry, according to the company. She has served as president of staffing agency ExecuTeam, which includes its Team1Medical division, since 2013. Those entities became affiliates of TRN following an acquisition in 2019. As COO, Bowen oversees TRN’s branch and service teams, which include 45 operating locations in more than 35 states, according to the company.

The Cleveland Orchestra in January named Jejuana C. Brown to a new role within the organization: director of diversity and inclusion. She reports to orchestra president and CEO André Gremillet and works in collaboration with the vice president of human resources and all executive and senior leadership. The orchestra said the position was created to “develop a comprehensive equity, access, diversity and inclusion plan that aligns with the orchestra’s objective to promote diversity as an essential element of the organization’s core values, goals, and mission, which is to inspire and enrich lives by creating extraordinary musical experiences at the highest level of artistic excellence.” Brown previously worked as director of inclusive culture and talent initiatives at the Greater Cleveland Partnership.

Rhonda K. Brown this summer became the city of Cleveland’s first senior strategist for arts, culture and the creative economy. The Shaker Heights native most recently served as president at the City Colleges of Chicago Foundation. She’s an Ohio State University grad who previously held development roles at Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet and Museum of Science and Industry. Brown also has a deep arts background. Her parents founded the first for-profit, Black-owned fine art gallery in the country in 1980 in Shaker Heights. Her job is to develop “a sustainable infrastructure for the arts at City Hall in partnership with city leaders” and the city’s creative community.

Yuvo Health Yuvo Health, a New York startup that provides value-based contracting and administrative services, made a key hire in Loren Anthes as it pushes into the Ohio market. Anthes is the company’s new head of policy and programs. A Yuvo Health spokeswoman wrote in an email that Anthes “is the first member of a growing Ohio-based team that the company is building to support its FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center), health plan and programmatic partners across the state.” FQHCs serve medically underserved areas and populations, providing primary care services regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Anthes has a career that spans nearly 20 years and “offers public- and private-sector experience with the legislative and executive branches of local, state, and federal governments,” Yuvo Health said. He has served as manager of state and local government relations for MetroHealth and worked for the Ohio Department of Medicaid.

City of Cleveland

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. The Akron-based tiremaker at the end of November promoted Joe Burke to vice president of its North America commercial business, succeeding the retiring Dave Beasley. The company said Burke reports to Steve McClellan, president, Goodyear Americas. McClellan called Burke “a proven leader” who “has delivered strong results in both our Global Aviation and North America commercial businesses. Burke joined Goodyear in 2015 and most recently worked as general manager of Goodyear’s Global Aviation business. Prior to joining the company, he held positions at OEConnection, Lincare Holdings and Aerotek.

Emily Campbell, a 16-year veteran of The Center for Community Solutions, became its president and CEO on Dec. 1. Campbell most recently served as chief operating officer, a position she had held since May 2022. The Center for Community Solutions is a nonprofit in Ohio’s health and human services space that centers around policy advocacy, research and data analysis. She succeeded John Corlett, who spent nine years as president and CEO. Corlett has transitioned to a senior visiting fellow role. The organization has 25 employees and a budget of more than $4.5 million. The board of trustees selected Campbell following a search that resulted in more than 470 applicants.

Mayfran International, a maker of conveyor systems, in January named Steve Carlson as president. He succeeded Frank Sraj, who retired late in 2022. In his new role, Carlson reports to Kevin Powers of U.S. Tsubaki, as Mayfran is a division of Tsubaki. Carlson most recently worked as the vice president and general manager for the Asia Pacific region at Howmet Aerospace, where he oversaw four plants and 235 people making aluminum wheels.

Gries Financial Partners in September named veteran wealth management leader Bill Caster as president. Caster joined the boutique financial advisory firm from Fifth Third Bank, where he served as a managing director for its private bank group in the Cleveland/Akron region for the past five years. Prior to Fifth Third, Caster spent close to eight years with PNC Bank as a regional managing director in the Cleveland/Akron market. In his new role at Gries, Caster succeeded Jeff Palmer, who had served as the firm’s president since 2016. This transition came as Palmer moved into a newly created role as head of integration strategy, where he will be focused on partnerships and new acquisitions,

KeyBank at the end of November named Joe Daleiden as the next president for its East Ohio market, which comprises Summit, Stark and Mahoning counties. In that role, Daleiden will succeed Eric Dellapina, whom the bank said will retire at the end of the year. Daleiden’s new title takes effect Jan. 1. Daleiden will “drive collaboration and coordination of KeyBank activities and resources in the market, as well as serve as the face and voice of Key in the community,” according to the company. He will oversee the bank’s four core lines of business spanning commercial, private, business and retail banking. Daleiden, who is based in Canton, joined Key in 2016 from Akron’s FirstMerit Bank (which was acquired that year by Huntington Bank). His current title is senior vice president and commercial banking sales leader for East Ohio. He’ll continue in that role in addition to serving as a regional market president.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in November got a new chief financial officer. Jacqueline Dalton was named senior vice president and CFO, effective Nov. 1. The former CFO, Michael Beedles, left the Cleveland Fed in September. Dalton joined the Cleveland Fed in 2012 as a bank examiner and since then “has steadily progressed through roles of increasing responsibility and complexity,” the bank said. Most recently, she worked as senior VP and chief diversity officer. Before she joined the Cleveland Fed, Dalton worked for 20 years with KeyBank in various leadership roles, including district retail leader and national program manager.

Ideastream Public Media

First Financial Bank First Financial Bancorp’s First Financial Bank, a Cincinnatibased institution with about $17 billion in assets, in April appointed Dave Dannemiller as commercial regional market president for Northeast Ohio. This is a new position for the bank that comes amid a bid to grow First Financial’s commercial business in a new corner of the state. In the role, Dannemiller is responsible for the bank’s commercial and industrial client relationships while also overseeing the local commercial banking team. Its services include commercial credit and lending, treasury management and trade finance. Dannemiller joined First Financial in November from San Francisco-based Bank of the West, where he had previously served as Ohio market executive since November 2016.

Ideastream Public Media in March added Yvette Cook Darby as chief development and marketing officer, a new position that was created in response to the organization’s 2023-2025 strategic plan.

New Faces of 2023 Spotlight with Renée T. Willis Fostering deep learning and quality instruction in Ohio public schools Given your experiences as a teacher and administrator in Ohio public schools, why is the mission of the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation so important to you personally?

in on

Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

With firsthand experiences across every level of K-12 urban education, Renée T. Willis, Ph.D., is well-equipped for her new role as executive director of the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation. Established in 1959, the foundation supports teachers and students in public K-12 schools throughout Ohio — awarding more than $170 million in grants since then to support initiatives that foster deep learning and excellent teaching. Willis, a graduate of the Cleveland Public Schools herself, brings experience as a teacher, principal and most recently, superintendent as she transitions from public school practitioner to public school philanthropist.

As a former math teacher, I worked hard to present my subject matter in myriad ways to reach the various learning styles of all my students. I would often request grants to make these extra learning experiences happen. “Excellent Teaching,” which is one of the Jennings Foundation’s core themes, requires teachers to think outside the box and take risks. I was that kind of teacher, and I supported those kinds of teachers when I was a principal. The Jennings Foundation even supported an innovative vision I had for my school district as a superintendent, which brought an engineering curriculum to the elementary school. All these personal experiences directly align with the foundation’s mission. As a graduate of Cleveland Public Schools, what does it mean to have this opportunity to serve and support public school students in Ohio? Growing up in inner-city Cleveland during the era of forced busing, I did not

have many of the opportunities that my private school peers experienced. If it hadn’t been for opportunity grants and nonprofits, I might not have discovered the world beyond my immediate neighborhood. To be able to support such organizations with funding is important to me, as I truly understand the opportunity gap that exists with many public school students. How will your experiences as a public school practitioner contribute to your success as a public school philanthropist? Having served as a K-12 public school teacher and administrator, I understand the challenges faced daily by teachers in the classroom, while also understanding the politics and policies that administrators must navigate to make the greatest impact. As a public school philanthropist, I look forward to assisting with these challenges by awarding funding with optimal and impactful results.

achievements and aspirations is what I’m most proud of. I’ve been told by former students, teachers and principals that I inspired them to strive higher. To have former students reach out and tell me that they’re doctors, IT professionals and teachers makes me proud. I’ve always believed in the underdog, and to see the underdog win due to something I said or did brings me joy. What’s the most rewarding aspect of your career? The most rewarding aspect of my career is knowing that I have the potential to change the course of someone’s life in a positive way. Helping students and teachers actualize their fullest potential is very fulfilling, as it reflects the notion of answering your “calling” to impact people’s lives. — Interviewed by Brooke Bilyj

What are your proudest, most impactful accomplishments in your career so far? Being able to affect my students’

Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb’s administration in April announced the hiring of Bryant Francis as the city’s new director of port control. Francis’ first day on the job in Cleveland was May 24. He took over the role from interim director Dennis Kramer, who has been the acting leader of the airport and ports since former port control director Robert Kennedy resigned in July 2022. Francis came to Cleveland from California, where he was director of aviation for the Port of Oakland since March 2016. His duties there included leading a staff of more than 200 people who manage the Oakland International Airport, which served about 10 million passengers in 2022.

It’s a justcreated position in which Frate, who started Dec. 3, leads operational activities, programs and strategic planning for medical and clinical areas of Summa Health Akron and Summa Health Barberton. He also will oversee quality improvement, utilization management, patient safety, care and disease management and medical policy and protocol development across Summa Health System Hospitals.

Reminger Co. announced early in 2023 that Brian Gannon had been appointed as the Cleveland-based law firm’s next managing partner, effective Jan. 1, 2024. He will succeed longtime firm leader Stephen Walters, who has been in the managing partner role since 2005. Walters, a litigator and corporate lawyer whose practice is focused on representation of medical professionals and facilities, is not retiring and will remain with the firm. Gannon has been with Reminger since 2001 when he joined the firm as a law clerk while earning his J.D. from Cleveland State University College of Law. Since then, he has served as an adviser to health care providers, practice groups, outpatient centers, hospitals and multi-facility health systems. He has led Reminger’s Healthcare Law Practice Group since 2015.

A leadership transition queued up this summer at ErieBank underscores the community bank’s focus on growth in the Northeast Ohio marketplace. ErieBank — one of six regionally branded divisions of Clearfield, Pennsylvania-based CNB Bank, which comprises approximately $5.6 billion in total assets — announced that Wesley Gillespie, its regional president for Northeast Ohio, will succeed longtime president David Zimmer effective Dec. 31. At that time, Zimmer, who in 2005 helmed the launch of the ErieBank brand in Erie, Pennsylvania, will move to the role of executive regional director. From his Northeast Ohio base, Gillespie will oversee the bank’s methodical expansion across this swath of the Buckeye State.

Cleveland State University in May named Melissa L. Gruys as dean of its Monte Ahuja College of Business. Gruys joined the university July 1. She came to Cleveland State from the Doermer School of Business at Purdue University Fort Wayne, where she served as dean and a professor of management. Cleveland State called Gruys “an experienced academic administrator, scholar and researcher” and noted that she “has published over 20 peerreviewed journal articles, has taught courses in human resource management, management, and organizational behavior, and has received numerous awards for teaching, research and service activities.”

Since joining First Interstate Properties Ltd. in 2005, Chris Goodrich has worked his way through the real estate development firm with a hands-on approach to growth. In January 2023, he was promoted by the firm’s founder, Mitchell Schneider, to president of the Lyndhurstbased company with a portfolio that includes One University Circle, Steelyard Commons, Legacy Village, Avon Commons and many more properties. Goodrich has spearheaded several public-private partnerships through tax increment financing, competitive state grants and bonds to complete projects totaling more than $400 million. His long list of awards includes an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Ohio EPA for Brownfield Redevelopment. His commitment to developing team players extends beyond the firm, with two decades of experience coaching youth basketball.

Working as an engineer on numerous projects has allowed me to interact with all members of a project team — from owners to those in the field. Strong problem-solving was a requirement for each project. It was also crucial to listen to and respect everyone’s opinion, as that was paramount to developing a successful outcome. Being able to properly communicate by first listening is something that has proven essential to becoming a leader and not just a manager, as they are vastly different. What’s the most rewarding or fulfilling aspect of your career? Seeing tremendous professional and personal growth in coworkers and other people I interact with every day has been the most rewarding and fulfilling aspect of my career. It always amazes me how much can be accomplished and how the quality of work increases as you empower others.

What was the most exciting project you’ve worked on? One University Circle was the most exciting project I’ve worked on, as it was the first ground-up high-rise apartment project built in Cleveland in more than 40 years. The finishes and luxury of the building had not been done in Cleveland in many, many years, and it was long overdue. What are your goals for First Interstate Properties in your new role as president? We are continuing on the path of muti-family development and bringing meaningful projects to Northeast Ohio. The ability to create construction jobs, full-time employment and growth of our own staff has always been important to First Interstate Properties, and I’m looking forward to continuing to create these opportunities. What is your definition of success? I have always defined success by the growth of the people we work with every day, whether they are inside or outside of our company. People are our greatest asset — not buildings or other material things.

How long have you been coaching youth sports, and how has this experience shaped you as a leader? I have coached girls’ and boys’ basketball for more than 20 years, from early youth to high school. I have learned that more can be accomplished by being a transformational coach, inspiring others and building them up, rather than trying to control them as a transactional coach. A transaction may be successful one time, but transformation lasts a lifetime. What’s the best advice you’d share with other business leaders? Respect everyone you interact with, be yourself and try not to be someone you are not. It’s ok to ask others if you don’t know something. You’re not expected to know everything in every situation. It’s amazing what you can still learn at any age if you listen and ask questions. — Interviewed by Brooke Bilyj

With his move to the CEO role, Huang no longer serves as board chairman. Huang also is president of Sander Electronics Inc., a Taiwanese company that makes LED semiconductor components and modules for signage, lighting and other applications. Energy Focus in January announced what it characterized as a “strategic partnership and investment” with Sander Electronics that involved the issuance and sale of 5.45 million shares of Energy Focus stock.

Johnson succeeded William Fosnight, who retired after 37 years with the Cleveland Fed. Johnson came to the Cleveland Fed from KeyBank National Association, where he was the chief ethics officer. He had worked at KeyBank since 1999, but this is a homecoming of sorts, as Johnson began his career in payments operations at the Cleveland Fed. In his long career with KeyBank, Johnson worked in multiple senior leadership roles within the company’s ethics program and law group, “providing legal counsel to consumer lending, business banking, and commercial lending business lines, including advising on regulatory issues and consumer compliance,” the Cleveland Fed said.

New Faces of 2023 Spotlight with Ron Paydo Serving the community by giving more than you get

Cuyahoga Community College

Drawn to the banking industry from a young age, Ron Paydo began his career in 1987 as a management trainee at FirstMerit Bank, where he worked his way up to regional president and then director of small business banking. Since FirstMerit’s merger with Huntington National Bank in 2016, Paydo has held various regional leadership roles — most recently being named president of the Akron/Canton market in May 2023. In this role, Paydo leads Huntington’s Community Plan implementation and serves as president of the Huntington-Akron Foundation. Beyond the bank, Paydo is incredibly active in the community, serving on several boards, including the American Red Cross, Boy Scouts of America, Salvation Army and United Way of Summit & Medina. He is also committed to mentoring youth, as he and his wife, Kathleen, have fostered more than 160 children and hosted seven exchange students through the local Rotary Club.

What are the most valuable traits you bring to your new role from your 36 years of experience? • Authenticity: I’m always open and honest with everyone I come into contact with. • Courage: I’m not afraid to make tough decisions or take calculated risks. I’m willing to pursue untested problem-solving methods and take full responsibility for the outcomes. • Integrity: I’m committed to doing the right thing, even when it’s hard. • Work ethic: I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get the work done to exceed any goal. What initially led you to pursue banking? When I was young, my mom would take me to the bank every week to deposit the money I made mowing lawns, umpiring and caddying. By doing that, I got to meet the local branch manager, and he shared with me what a great career he had and how much fun banking was. In high school, I participated in a two-week summer program at Lake Erie College dedicated to banking, and the rest is history.

What is the most fulfilling aspect of your career? I take great pride in watching those who have worked for me grow and develop in their careers. Many of my Huntington team members have been promoted, and it just doesn’t get much better than that. I also enjoy helping business owners through the challenges they face as they get started and grow. What are your goals in this new role? We can only be as successful as our customers and communities, so I want to make sure our bank is looking out for people, helping businesses thrive and strengthening the communities that we serve. I want to grow our market share, and we’ll do that by providing the best possible services. One of my top priorities is ensuring that small business owners understand the resources available to help them start or grow their business, whether it’s through Huntington’s position as a leading small business lender or through our unique Lift Local Business program, which offers loans, business planning support, financial education and other services to help small business owners achieve their goals.

With a long list of community involvements, why is giving back so important to you? Giving back gives me a sense of purpose. By giving back, I can do something meaningful for others. At the end of every day, I ask myself if I gave more than I got. What’s the best advice you’d share with other business leaders? Invest in yourself and your employees. There is always room for growth, and you have to make growth a priority as a leader. — Interviewed by Brooke Bilyj Lending products are subject to credit application and approval.

McNair is a Northeast Ohio native with a background in architecture. He spent more than 13 years at Ohio City Inc., a nonprofit tasked with stewarding growth and community engagement on the city’s near-West Side. He joined the Bibb administration on Sept. 25, taking the helm of an understaffed but vital city department. The city evaluated 27 applications for the director’s job and interviewed three finalists.

A world-renowned HIV researcher and infectious disease clinician, Grace McComsey, M.D., works to improve health outcomes and bring patients hope. As principal investigator on more than 15 HIVrelated grants from the National Institutes of Health, her research is transforming global understanding of disease. McComsey joined the faculty of University Hospitals in 1998 and led clinical research at UH as vice president of research until 2023, when she became the vice dean of clinical and translational research at Case Western Reserve University. In this capacity, she leads the organization’s clinical and translational research efforts as director of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute and principal investigator of the Case Western Reserve University Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative of Northern Ohio. She also is a professor of pediatrics and medicine at CWRU.

How is your research making a difference? As an infectious disease clinician and HIV researcher, my vision is to connect medical research to improved community health outcomes. During the coronavirus pandemic, for example, the COVID-19-related clinical trials of vaccines, antivirals and antiinflammatories I led at the UH Clinical Research Center were instrumental in preventing and treating the disease and relieving long-term complications. Post-pandemic, I’m breaking new ground as a hub principal investigator for the NIH’s Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative, a national program to understand, treat and prevent long-term COVID. Case Western Reserve University, in conjunction with UH through a collaboration with MetroHealth Medical Center, is the only Ohio site in the RECOVER Initiative. What inspired you to enter medicine and focus on infectious disease? As a math and physics major at Saint Joseph University in Beirut, I first considered engineering before attending medical school. My parents encouraged me because they wanted a physician in

the family, and I was personally motivated when I received the ninth-highest score in the country on my entrance exam.

advise them to develop clear objectives, work hard and overcome criticism with continued persistence.

My experience as a medical student and Red Cross volunteer in the late 1980s in the midst of the Civil War in Lebanon heightened my sensitivity to human suffering and made it even more important for me to become a physician.

Those seeking mentorship must also bring something to the table by having the drive and an idea. You have to show that you put time into thinking about your idea and are willing to do the work.

I came to the United States after graduating from medical school, not knowing any English but eager to specialize in infectious diseases. I was initially drawn to this field in medical school because of its focus on the entire patient, rather than a specific organ or organ system. How are you mentoring the next generation? Driven by the lack of guidance I experienced early in my career, I prioritize the mentorship of students, fellows and young faculty to help them navigate research challenges. Mentorship is the cornerstone of research, and without mentorship, you’re setting the next generation up for failure. I encourage young physician-scientists to focus on research they’re passionate about, and I

What are your goals in this new role? Leading the CTSC, I intend to fuel greater collaboration across academic and community research organizations to accelerate the rate at which scientific discoveries are disseminated and implemented as impactful, life-enhancing treatments. It’s good to do research, but what does it mean if you’re not applying it? The goal of the CTSC is all about taking innovation and making a difference for the communities and the patients that need it most.

Although Rohrer Corp.’s recently named CEO, Tim Swanson, is new to the retail packaging industry, he brings a proven track record of success, driving growth, innovation and value creation in other sectors. Most recently, as CEO of Bettcher Industries, a leading manufacturer of food processing equipment, he spearheaded an acquisitive growth strategy that resulted in a successful sale to private equity. Prior to that, Swanson held various leadership roles at other manufacturing firms including Barnes Group, Illinois Tool Works and Whirlpool Corp. Now, as Rohrer celebrates its 50th anniversary, Swanson steps in to supercharge the packaging company’s growth.

Big ica.

How will your previous experience contribute to this role? While the packaging industry is new to me, I’ve been running businesses of similar size and scale for the past seven years. I’ve had the opportunity to lead both publicly traded and private equity-backed businesses — which is a perspective I can lean on as Rohrer is a portfolio company of Wellspring Capital Management, a leading private equity firm based in New York. You’re taking the helm as Rohrer celebrates 50 years in business. What does that mean to you? I’m honored to be joining nearly 1,000 associates at Rohrer at an exciting time in the company’s history. I believe that historic performance is one of the best indicators of future performance, and we have a rich legacy to build upon. What elements of Rohrer’s legacy do you want to uphold as its new leader? Rohrer has a reputation throughout the visual packaging industry for its approach to customer service. As Rohrer has grown, acquired new capabilities and ultimately changed ownership over the past 50 years, customer service has

remained the cornerstone of our value proposition —and something that I’ll continue to prioritize during my tenure. What fresh perspective will you bring to the company? As we focus on the next chapter of Rohrer’s growth, it’s important that we enhance our understanding of the trends that are defining the industry as it evolves and, more specifically, how those trends impact our customers and consumers. Armed with that understanding, I intend to position our company as a “trusted adviser” by guiding and providing packaging solutions that position our customers to win in the marketplace. To do that, we need to make additional investments in product and process technology coupled with material science advancements that will position Rohrer as the innovative solution provider we envision. What are your top goals in this new role? My goal is to scale the Rohrer platform from both a revenue growth and operating capability perspective. As we make investments, expand our footprint and acquire new capabilities, we will

also create a best-in-class operating profile for the business through our operating system, “The Rohrer Edge.” We want to take a disciplined approach to accelerating enterprise value for our investor, Wellspring Capital, and that’s accomplished by keeping the business simple and focused as we grow. What is the most rewarding aspect of your job? Helping our team be successful. Leaders have to create the opportunity for success. Over the course of my career, I’ve had leaders make investments in me by letting me lead a project, take an expanded role or move from one functional area to another. Those kinds of experiences create the opportunity to learn something new, challenge comfort zones and ultimately develop new capabilities that drive personal success. Employees are the most valuable asset in any business, and in my role, I get to create opportunities to drive employee engagement that enhance their ability to be successful. — Interviewed by Brooke Bilyj

After nearly 30 years of advising and consulting with privatelyowned businesses in Ohio, Cohen & Company’s Assurance Partner, Keith Klodnick, CPA, is stepping into a new role. Now, as market leader for the Ohio region, Klodnick will focus on expanding Cohen & Company’s brand, business and community relationships across the state while he continues to directly serve clients — even serving in an outside CFO advisory role for many of them. Klodnick, who’s been at the firm since 1995, is a member of the American Institute of CPAs, Ohio Society of CPAs and Prayers from Maria Foundation Board.

Creating the role of market leader is important to our Northeast Ohio presence and goals. We’ve been in this market for over 45 years, but formalizing and centralizing this position shows our dedication to remaining involved in and connected with all aspects of the business community. I’ve been fortunate to serve Northeast Ohio through the firm for nearly 30 years. My new role puts me in a better position to help the next generation of leaders expand their relationships and continue to grow the firm. What are your top goals and priorities in this new role? Specifically, I want to ensure Cohen & Company remains at the forefront of leadership within the Northeast Ohio business community. I want us to touch as many facets of the market as possible, from Centers of Influence to clients to charities. We will focus on expanding current relationships, creating new ones and developing our next generation of leaders.

What does the Cohen & Company brand mean to you, and how do you embody that in your interactions? I have always truly believed that our firm is the premier provider of tax, accounting and advisory services in Northeast Ohio, and if you aren’t using us, then you’re most likely missing out on opportunities. Every time I talk with an owner or CFO, I listen first. Then I ask questions about their whole business. It’s not just about tax or financial statements; it’s about the whole health of the enterprise and how we can help them. Stronger businesses mean a stronger economy for Northeast Ohio. We take that opportunity seriously. What growth opportunities do you see ahead for Cohen & Company? While we already serve clients in Toledo, Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton, there are still untapped opportunities in these areas for us. Spending time in these communities with business owners and their lawyers, bankers and insurance professionals will be key. We’re looking for more opportunities across the state, especially in our core areas of private companies, private equity, and real estate and construction.

What are you doing to develop the next generation of leadership in the firm? Cohen & Company offers many ways for our employees to make their mark, but for those looking to engage, we focus on introductions to advisers at banks, law firms and other Centers of Influence. We bring our employees along, both figuratively and literally, to begin building their own networks. We also strongly believe in helping the next generation get involved with charitable organizations. The best way to develop leaders is to help them find their passion, both inside and outside of the profession. What’s the best lesson you’ve learned over nearly 30 years of serving Cohen & Company’s clients? Building great relationships and trusting people is so important. I never thought I’d create so many great friendships through my business relationships over the years. It makes me really love what I do. — Interviewed by Brooke Bilyj

New Faces of 2023 Spotlight with Kevin Patrick Murphy Cultivate potential through a shared vision What’s your vision for Walter Haverfield’s next era of growth?

After more than a decade at Walter Haverfield, Kevin Patrick Murphy assumed the role of managing partner last March — becoming just the sixth managing partner in the law firm’s history since 1932. A seasoned corporate and real estate attorney, Murphy previously served as administrative partner and section head of the firm’s business services group, where he played a prominent role in Ohio’s burgeoning cannabis industry. Now, Murphy takes the helm as Walter Haverfield moves into a new office in downtown Cleveland with a refined focus on growth.

At the end of 2022, the firm parted ways with about one-third of our lawyers after deciding to concentrate on a few key practice areas. By focusing on our strengths and streamlining our service offerings, we’ve been able to offer better client service and increase profitability. It was a difficult decision to reduce the size of the firm, but we’re now more profitable and more nimble. Sometimes, it makes sense to contract before you expand— and our vision for the firm’s next era is to expand our presence, not only in Cleveland, but across Ohio and the Midwest. How will your new office contribute to your next phase of growth? The space at Post Office Plaza is located in the heart of downtown, close to where the firm was founded over 90 years ago. The building sits on the riverfront, and with Mayor Bibb’s focus on “shore-to-core” development, we’re situated squarely in the path of progress.

Our new lobby will look and feel more like a hotel lobby than a law firm. It was designed to foster collaboration among our employees and allow us to host client and civic events. I truly believe that interpersonal connections are essential for long-term success. To that end, we want our employees to want to come to work every day. What are your top goals for the firm? As managing partner, my goal is to continue building upon Walter Haverfield’s strong foundation. We have a lot of excellent lawyers, and my primary job is to provide the support they need to succeed. There’s the business of law and the practice of law, and if we as a management team focus on the business of law, that allows my partners to focus on their law practices. With the recent passing of Issue 2, what opportunities do you see in the cannabis industry, and how has your previous work in this space paved the way for these opportunities?

establish a cannabis practice. With the passage of Issue 2, and the resultant expansion of Ohio’s cannabis industry, we’re in an excellent position to continue serving our existing cannabis clients and those looking to expand into Ohio now that adult use is legal. With so much change happening at Walter Haverfield, what’s your best advice for managing it? Change is hard, but it’s necessary. There’s an old quote I like that says, “Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up.” My advice for navigating change is to first get buy-in from your colleagues regarding your goals before you set out to achieve them. If you can get your team to coalesce around those goals and achieve a shared vision for the future, you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish. — Interviewed by Brooke Bilyj

S Cleveland is blessed with a Great Lake and relatively temperate summer and fall weather (when other parts of the country are facing blast-furnace heat). One of its most significant natural resources, however, is talent. Look no further than members of this year’s class of Crain’s Cleveland 20 In Their 20s, who range from a young entrepreneur determined to solve a huge environmental problem to an astronomer searching the skies at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Their stories help explain what makes Northeast Ohio rise above.

Information is from the organization, including websites and public filings, unless otherwise noted. To prevent ties, firms with the same number of local employees are then ranked by total staff. Listed cities in most cases represent the location of the organization's primary local office, though a few organizations headquartered elsewhere list cities outside Northeast Ohio. In a few cases the local executive listed oversees the local operation but is not based locally.

SOURCE: Ohio Employee Ownership Center, the National Center for Employee Ownership and Crain's research (researcher@crainscleveland.com) | This list includes majority employee-owned companies that also have

Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Numerical data is for ESOP plans only and excludes assets held through other forms of ownership. The listed companies were all majority owned as of the most recent data gathered by The Ohio Employee Ownership Center and the National Center for Employee Ownership. The data was compiled from forms the companies filed with the U.S. Department of Labor. Participant numbers and assets figures are as of the end of the company's 2021 plan year unless otherwise noted. Plan effective date may not reflect when a company's ESOP plan was originally created. In some cases the date may have been updated if significant changes were made to the plan. Companies with the same number of active plan participants are then ranked by total participants. NOTES: 1. Active figures include all current employees who are eligible for the company's ESOP plan. Total figures include former employees and others who no longer meet eligibility requirements. 2. All figures for this company are for 2020; more recent data was not publicly available prior to deadline.

Finance

Money was one of the biggest topics of 2023 with all eyes on the volatility of the flow of cash. For instance, on our list of Banks, most saw deposits fall compared to a year ago. But for the banks that ended up on the positive side, the additions were pretty substantial. That same unpredictability can be seen on our list of Investment Advisers, most of which saw assets under local management take a hit. But, as our Mergers & Acquisitions list shows, there was still plenty of money to be made.

While the towns in the top 15 of our Wealthiest Suburbs list are familiar from previous years, there’s been a bit of shuffling, including a new No. 2 and a nine-spot jump for another hamlet which saw a 37.2% change in the 5-year estimate of median household income. On our Largest Home Sales list, you’ll find what address sold at a higher purchase price than the home bought by a Cleveland Browns star. Plus, you can find the biggest commercial deals on our Largest Commercial Property Sales list and, on our Commercial Real Estate Brokerages list, the top firms that made some of those deals happen.

accurate. Some prices may include business value in addition to real estate. NOTES: e. Crain's estimate. 1. Price qualifier comments are from CoStar unless otherwise noted. Allocated means CoStar estimated the price from the total price paid for multiple properties. Approximate means CoStar believes the information is reliable but not directly confirmed with a deal insider or public records. All other prices are confirmed by CoStar, NAI Pleasant Valley, county records, media reports or Crain's research. 2. Benderson acquired a 90% stake in the building, which is under construction, as part of a sale-leaseback deal. The initial lease term includes the construction period and extends for 30 years thereafter with total proceeds expected to be received under this agreement approximating $800 million to $850 million, according to a regulatory filing. 3.

While things were relatively steady from year-to-year for the organizations on both our Law Firms and Accounting Firms list, there’s still plenty of data to mine, including how those top firms fared with growth—or cuts. But there’s a new No. 1 on our IT Services Firm list thanks to local staff growth. And if you ever wanted to know what your favorite Cleveland athlete is making and which of our local teams are spending more on players — you probably won’t be surprised that there’s only one Guardians player in the top 10 — our Highest-Paid Athlete list will show you who’s pulling in the big bucks.
