This is all part of the economic story of Rhode Island’s ongoing recovery from the pandemic detailed throughout the pages of the 36th edition of PBN’s Book of Lists.

But also evident in the 127 business, industry and government lists in this year’s edition is the remarkable resilience of the region’s business community in the face of seemingly unrelenting economic challenges. Their revenue and job numbers show signs of pandemic-induced pain but also growth and in many cases impressive, industry-leading performances.

Where some companies have faltered, other businesses and new leaders have stepped in and up in meeting the challenges.

A new addition to this year’s lists is regional indoor recreation centers, ranked by square footage.

This year’s 10 Most Influential People list has just one holdover, an elected official who worked harder than most in 2022 to earn that description. He’s joined by other leaders in government, business, education and social services who stood out in mostly positive but sometimes controversial ways.

Leading production of the 2023 Book of Lists was researcher and Special Projects Editor James Bessette and Production Director Anne Ewing. James’ leadership and data-management skills are integral to the book’s success, as is Anne’s tremendous design acumen. Thank you both!

And, as always, we remain indebted to you, the business community. We could not produce this treasure trove of financial and leadership data without your support.

We’d also like to thank this year’s sponsors, including book partners R.I. Commerce Corp. and Tufts Health Plan and book cover sponsor Gallo|Thomas Insurance.

Subscribers should receive this year’s Book of Lists with the Jan. 20 edition of PBN. If you are not a subscriber, it is also available at bookstores, newsstands or at PBN.com, where electronic access can also be purchased.

COVID-19’S GRIP ON THE LOCAL ECONOMY is weakening, though scars remain. Inflation has stunted some of the rebound, as have leadership changes throughout government and the business community.

SPONSOR MESSAGES

RHODE ISLAND MAY BE a small state, but we do big things. Just look at the terrific work Rhode Islanders are doing at the great companies listed throughout this book, despite another year of perseverance and adaptation for our business community.

BILL ASH Interim President and COO Rhode Island Commerce

Throughout this challenging time in our state’s – and nation’s – history, Rhode Islanders have met adversity with enviable strength and resilience. In this way, our small size allows us to act and react quickly, working to provide support and resources to our communities and enable us to safely keep our economy going strong. Our state’s size also allows us to remain connected, especially important at a time when traditional ways of networking are strained and those connections more important than ever.

PBN’s Book of Lists is a valuable resource which allows us to continue to foster these relationships and networks within our community, and Rhode Island Commerce is again proud to be a sponsor.

At Commerce, it is our mission to support you, connect you, and help you succeed, for us all.

I invite you to give us a call at 401-521-HELP or send an email to info@commerceri.com, and let our team go to work for you.

TUFTS HEALTH PLAN, a Point32Health company, is a proud sponsor of the annual PBN Book of Lists, a valuable resource for us to connect with the community and serve our members. Our Point32Health community of care believes health care should work for everyone in the Ocean State – and beyond. That’s why each day we’re working hard to rethink health care from the ground up and improve the health care experience, so that it’s easier to use, understand, and afford— for everyone. We have flexible health plan solutions allowing for customization to serve our members wherever they seek care. We continually rank among the top health plans in the country for quality and member satisfaction. And, we’re proud to say that Point32Health health plans are the first in New England to earn Health Equity Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance.*

GALLO|THOMAS is proud to once again sponsor the annual PBN Book of Lists. We congratulate all who made the list this year and especially our valued clients who are being recognized as true leaders in our business community.

MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

DR. UTPALA BANDY

R.I. Department of Health interim director

The state health department has seen an exodus of top leaders during the pandemic. Bandy, who joined the department in 1993 as the state epidemiologist, stepped into the leadership breach in July 2022 and led the state’s ongoing vaccination efforts, including for a global mpox, previously known as monkeypox, outbreak.

ROBERT C. DAVIS

Former I-195 Redevelopment District Commission chairman

As the commission continues to review and decide on projects for the I-195 land, Davis, who resigned Dec. 31, presided over key decisions on new offices, a high-profile state health lab and much-needed residential development with a holistic view of the district’s ongoing development.

GOV. DANIEL J. MCKEE

Twenty months after stepping in as governor following his predecessor’s appointment as U.S. commerce secretary, McKee was easily elected to his first full term in November. The former lieutenant governor used the election-year advantage of federal pandemic aid to spread welcomed funding to voting constituencies throughout the state. He also cast the tiebreaking vote on the R.I. Commerce Corp. board for reworked financing to keep a muchdebated Pawtucket soccer stadium project alive.

PETER F. NERONHA

Rhode Island attorney general

Neronha made headlines throughout 2022, most notably leading efforts to reach a settlement allowing PPL Corp. to purchase the state’s primary utility and stopping a proposed merging of the state’s two largest hospital systems. His office has also played a key role in combating fraud by aggressively prosecuting scammers. Neronha was elected to the independent American Law Institute in 2021.

KAREN A. SANTILLI

Crossroads Rhode Island CEO

One of the state’s leading affordable-housing advocates, Santilli in 2022 finally won approval for a new five-story apartment building in Providence intended to replace outdated housing for the homeless. Crossroads was also recognized for historic preservation of 14 properties in the city providing housing for needy families.

CHRISTIAN COWAN

University of Rhode Island Research Foundation executive director

Cowan has long been a workforcedevelopment leader in the state, working with manufacturers as the former leader of Polaris MEP and with a host of partners as executive director of 401 Tech Bridge. In his role as the foundation’s first executive director, he’s expanding its business partnerships and working to help commercialize university-developed technology.

KAREN S. LYNCH

CVS Health Corp.

CEO and president

Lynch took the top job at CVS during the height of the pandemic in early 2021. She simultaneously helped the health care giant play a leading national role in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout while positioning the company to become a major deliverer of primary and home care services in the coming years.

OSCAR MEJIAS

Rhode Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce CEO

During the height of the pandemic, Mejias oversaw a massive 900% membership surge in the Chamber he founded in 2016. That membership continued to grow in 2022, to 850 members. “We have created a movement,” he told PBN. When he’s not tirelessly promoting the interests of Chamber businesses throughout the state, he’s also heading a bilingual vocational and technical school in Providence.

CHRISTINA H. PAXSON

Brown University president

The nationally respected higher education leader led the effort to include Brown in a failed merger between Lifespan Corp. and Care New England Health System. She did manage, however, to ink a deal for the trio to collaborate on medical research. And she’s continued Brown’s campus expansion in Providence, announcing plans for a new life sciences building in the city.

LAURIE WHITE

Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce president

The longtime leader of the state’s largest Chamber is a vocal supporter of member businesses. She’s also active in the community, having served on a working group tasked with finding solutions to the city’s growing pension woes. White also helped steer challenged businesses to much-needed resources throughout the multiyear pandemic.

HEALTH CARE

‘This level and degree of health care consolidation [from a Lifespan Corp.-Care New England Health System merger] … would concentrate Rhode Island’s health care market far beyond the levels in neighboring New England states.’

‘At the moment, unfortunately, I would have to say that the behavioral health care system in Rhode Island is broken and it’s fragmented, and that’s for a variety of reasons.’

‘The COVID-19 pandemic ... put tons of pressure on nursing homes. It was a pandemic that targeted the elderly and people with underlying conditions, and nursing homes were the bull’s-eye.’

REAL ESTATE

TO THE RESCUE: Providence and the state have offered numerous incentives to the “Superman” building owner High Rock Westminster LLC in order to get the $223 million redevelopment underway.

‘People really value homeownership in a way that they didn’t even realize before the pandemic. Everyone wants the safety and security of a home to both live in, work in.’

‘I think our political leadership should be calling in, tapping companies to ask them to come back to work. There are companies looking not to renew leases. It has an effect on the overall downtown.’

‘The “Superman” building is an iconic, historical structure that has sat empty for far too long. A mixeduse development that includes a residential component could help reinvigorate downtown Providence, helping to attract businesses and investment into our capital city.’

SALLY E. LAPIDES | Residential Properties Ltd. | CEO and president | Jan. 7

JOSEPH R. PAOLINO JR. | Paolino Properties LP | Managing partner | Feb. 1

DOMINICK J. RUGGERIO | R.I. Senate president | Feb. 3

‘We’ve been underproducing [housing] in Rhode Island for a long time at all income levels. But the gap for people at the lowest income is the biggest.’

BRENDA CLEMENT | HousingWorks RI at Roger Williams University | Director | July 29

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

‘There will always be ongoing work, maintenance, improvements that can be made. The greatest contribution we have made through the Great Streets plan is integrating this thinking into every aspect of city operations, from our planning and parks department to public works.’

‘Single-tenant commercial buildings are increasingly being reimagined as spaces with a mix of active uses that help sustain a neighborhood.’

‘When buildings were constructed in the early ’70s, [school districts] didn’t contemplate how computers would take over the world. They didn’t contemplate many of the things that we take for granted.’

SELF-POWERED: Liza Burkin, organizer for the Providence Streets Coalition, makes use of bike lanes on the Clifford Street bridge over Interstate 95. Burkin has been a leading advocate for the construction of the city’s bike infrastructure. PBN FILE PHOTO/ELIZABETH GRAHAM

HOSPITALITY

LAYING DOWN THE LAW: Paul Bagdan, Johnson & Wales University faculty member, says the Rhode Island “tip protection” law passed in 2022 makes it clear that tips are the sole property of the tipped employee, not the employers. “It’s a smart law,” he said.

‘Rhode Island’s economic recovery is strong overall, but – as is true across the country – it’s an uneven recovery. … The hospitality, tourism and event sectors have experienced the greatest impacts in the pandemic era.’

PBN FILE PHOTO/MICHAEL SALERNO

STEFAN PRYOR | Former R.I. commerce secretary | March 2

‘The pandemic certainly drove people to the rental-home market and it remains very strong.’

JESSICA WILLI | Block Island Tourism Council | Executive director | March 18

‘One thing we’re watching carefully is, with the rising cost of travel, what decisions are being made to cut back. We don’t know that yet.’

DALE J. VENTURINI | Rhode Island Hospitality Association | President | June 27

‘It’s very clear that the tipping system does not treat all workers the same way and can be a way of avoiding responsibility for paying living wages.’

ON TRACK: Maggie Bachenberg, CEO and co-founder of Pointz Mobility Inc. in Providence, which developed the Pointz navigation app geared toward safer routes for cyclists, says finding funding for the startup was much easier than expected thanks to Rhode Island’s entrepreneurship environment.

‘[Businesses] had to use technology more, they had to find new ways to serve their customers. When you get pushed against a wall like we have in this pandemic, you have no choice but to innovate.’

‘It comes down to [startups] being able to get investments here. You create a flywheel economy where there are enough startups to keep high-tech employers here, and excited about being here.’

‘The robots are taking some of the burden off of our teams so that they can focus on other things. It frees them up to solve construction-related problems, as opposed to just project documenting.’

‘Even if we detect something, we can’t respond fast enough to stop that attack or breach, so [cyberattack] prevention is not a solution; detection is not a solution by itself.’

FALVEY INSURANCE GROUP PROUDLY CONGRATULATES JACK FALVEY, COO

“Rising Star” Award Winner

The little things and non-publicized efforts judge a true leader. It is the late nights of work to assist everyone on the team to complete a large project. It is valuing each employee and doing their best to set them up for success in any way possible. A true leader not only challenges their company but each individual as well. Falvey Insurance Group is fortunate to have a true leader that embodies this mindset in Jack Falvey. falveyinsurancegroup.com

Lifespan thanks and salutes all of Rhode Island’s healthcare workers.

Even in the most extraordinary conditions, you show courage, selflessness, and compassion. You demonstrated skill and commitment during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic as you managed situations that were new and challenging.

We offer our heartfelt gratitude for your dedication to patients, as well as thanks to healthcare providers and support staff who join together to deliver health with care.
