FROM THE PUBLISHER

Th ey’ve got the powerWelcome to our fourth edition of the BBJ Power 50, a recognition of the men and women who make things happen in the city. Th e list includes many familiar names, both in the public realm and in these pages where they have been feted in year’s past. John Henry, principal owner of the Boston Red Sox, became more powerful with his purchase of Th e Boston Globe, a local institution to be sure. Abigail Johnson, president and CEO of Fidelity Investments, who graduated from heir apparent to CEO, fi lling the shoes of her father, Edward “Ned” Johnson III. But there are also powerful newcomers to the list, including Arthur T. Demoulas,

who inspired a revolution among his employees, returning him to the top of the food chain after being banished by the board.Th e concept of power can be as subjective as beauty and wisdom. Th erefore, we expect many of our readers to have their own ideas who should have made the list, and we welcome that feedback. Let us know who you think we missed. We’d love to hear from you.

David Aldrich Chairman and CEO, Skyworks Solutions

David Aldrich has led Woburn-based mobile technology maker Skyworks Solutions since it was formed by a merger in 2002, and was named board chairman in May 2014. A graduate of Providence College and the University of Rhode Island, Aldrich previously worked at a number of other area tech startups and established electronics companies, including M/A-COM Inc. and Adams-Russel. He is also a member of the board of high-speed networking company Belden.

What makes him influential: Leading one of the area’s hottest publicly traded technology companies and supplying technology to some of the world’s top wireless companies, Aldrich has clearly earned the respect of the Massachusetts innovation sector over the course of his career. He was named 2014 CEO of the Year by the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council, which called him one of the state’s “elite innovators.”

David ChangCOO, PayPal Media Network

In 2009, David Chang began working as vice president of product at media startup Where. When it was acquired by PayPal in 2011, Chang stayed on and was promoted to chief operating offi cer at PayPal Media Network, where he currently leads strategy and business operations. Chang then helped launch the PayPal Start Tank, an early-stage startup incubator within PayPal, in 2012. Th e organization provides six months of no-cost professional space, infrastructure, coaching and community to early-stage startups. Since then, Start Tank has launched in London and Chennai. Chang serves on the Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange board.

What makes him influential: Chang’s vision for the startup scene extends far beyond PayPal. He has not only played a significant role in helping startups succeed, but he has made sure that the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Boston functions just like a well-oiled machine as evidenced by his involvement in startup accelerators MassChallenge and Techstars.


4 BOSTON BUSINESS JOURNAL

Bill BacicNew England managing partner, Deloitte

Deloitte named Bill Bacic managing partner for New England in 2004, by which time he’d already racked up 25 years of experience at the consultancy. Bacic came to Boston in 1989 and helped grow Deloitte’s footprint in the city’s fi nancial services sector. A graduate of Villanova University, Bacic is a past chairman of the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley.

What makes him influential: Bacic leads an organization that is not only one of the region’s top professional service employers, but also a trusted adviser to some of the region’s largest financial services companies. He also helps Deloitte stake out leadership positions on internal management issues shared by clients, with the firm widely honored for its work in retention, workplace satisfaction and inclusion. As United Way chairman, Bacic helped coordinate charitable fundraising eff orts that raised millions, much of it directly from area businesses.

Jonathan BushCEO, athenahealth, Inc.

Th e impassioned athenahealth CEO hasn’t always worked in health IT, though he has a lengthy record working in health care. Following an earlier career as an EMT in New Orleans, Jonathan Bush moved on to train as a medic in the U.S. Army. He eventually found himself working as a management consultant with Booz Allen & Hamilton. Athenahealth, the cloud-based electronic medical records provider, would later be born out of a fl oundering startup in San Diego. A graduate of Wesleyan University, Bush also holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. What makes him influential: Bush wants to revolutionize health care, from changing the way doctors interact with electronic medical records, to how doctors access information on drugs. He advocates for more open aff ordable health care with more customer choice, and for change through a book and speaking engagements.

Robert CaretPresident, University of Massachusetts

As the 26th president of the University of Massachusetts, Robert Caret presides over the fi ve campuses of the public university system. He came to UMass from Towson University in Baltimore, where he served as president from 2003 until 2011. Prior to that, he was president of San Jose State University, a role he held from 1995 until 2003. Caret has a doctorate in organic chemistry from the University of New Hampshire and has an undergraduate degree from Suff olk University.

What makes him influential: Caret has worked diligently to shift perceptions in Massachusetts about the value of a public university system in a state with many competitive private colleges and universities. He has successfully made his case to the state legislature, which has increased state funding for the five campuses and now splits the cost 50-50 with the UMass system. In exchange, Caret has taken the bold step of freezing tuition and fees, an agreement now in its second year.

Elyse Cherry CEO, Boston Community Capital

As CEO of Boston Community Capital, Elyse Cherry also serves as president of the nonprofi t’s affi liated funds: the Boston Venture Fund, Aura Mortgage Advisors and NSP Residential. An attorney and a former partner at Hale and Dorr, Cherry also served as CEO at Earthwide Products Corp. She is graduate of Wellesley College and Northeastern University School of Law.

What makes her influential: Boston Community Capital is widely seen as a model for community investment. Under Cherry’s leadership, the organization has grown assets under management 35-fold and expanded into new areas, including tax credits, mortgage-lending activities aimed at stabilizing urban neighborhoods and an alternative- energy initiative. Cherry has held board seats at Pilgrim Insurance Co. and Zipcar. She is the past chairwoman of the Massachusetts Cultural Council and a member of Gov. Deval Patrick’s transition team. Cherry was chairwoman of the LGBT advocacy group MassEquality when the Bay State passed landmark legislation recognizing gay marriage.

WELL DONE!

We congratulate this year’s 50 Most Influential Bostonians for their leadership, which continues to inspire business professionals throughout the Greater Boston community.

K&L Gates LLP. Global legal counsel across five continents. Learn more at klgates.com.

klgates.com

Bill Cummings Founder, Cummings Properties / Cummings Foundation

Bill Cummings bought his fi rst business for $10,000 in 1964 and later sold it for $1 million, according to a Boston Business Journal profi le earlier this year. Th e deal provided the seed capital for a commercial real estate empire that today encompasses more than 80 buildings totaling 10 million square feet across the state. Th is includes conventional properties such as most of the three-dozen buildings Cummings owns in Woburn and the 700,000-square foot TradeCenter 128.

What makes him influential: He has earned respect the way businesspeople usually do: he possesses an uncanny eye for deals and a great nose for talent. The Winchester resident is influential beyond the business community because of the extraordinary generosity he and his wife have shown through the Cummings Foundation, which among other things gives 100 local nonprofits $100,000 each every year.

Ralph de la TorreChairman and CEO, Steward Health Care System

As chairman and CEO of Steward Health Care System, Ralph de la Torre oversees a network that includes 11 hospitals, a home health care company, a nursing college and 17,000 employees. A former cardiac surgeon, de la Torre also founded the Cardiovascular Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. De la Torre is a graduate of Duke University and holds a joint degree in medicine and technology from Harvard and MIT.

What makes him influential: De la Torre has made it clear he intends to change health care delivery. His decision to give up his role as one of the nation’s leading heart surgeons to tackle hospital administration — and his early success rescuing the Caritas Christi Health Care system from bankruptcy as part of the creation of Steward — give him significant credibility. He has been named one of the most powerful physician executives in the country by Modern Healthcare magazine.

Robert DeLeoSpeaker, Massachusetts House of Representatives

Robert DeLeo has been speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives since 2009. He previously served as chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee before succeeding Sal DiMasi as speaker after DiMasi stepped down amidst ethics controversies. A native of Winthrop and a graduate of Boston Latin School, DeLeo, whose father used to head a restaurant at Suff olk Downs, got his bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University and his law degree from Suff olk University School of Law. He has been a state representative since 1991. What makes him influential: Come this January, DeLeo, a Democrat, will be the old-hand at the State House, as both Gov. Deval Patrick and Senate President Therese Murray step down from their respective off ices. Not that a new governor and Senate president will be pushovers, but they’ll still be finding their leadership feet by the time they sit down with DeLeo to hammer out compromises on the state budget and other policy issues on Beacon Hill.

Congratulations from the entire

Museum of Science team to

Drew Gilpin FaustPresident, Harvard University

Drew Gilpin Faust is the 28th president of Harvard University and the fi rst woman to serve in that role. Before becoming president at Harvard, Faust was dean of the Radcliff e Institute for Advanced Study from 2001 to 2007. Faust attended Concord Academy in Massachusetts. She then went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in history from Bryn Mawr College and her master’s and doctoral degree in American civilization from the University of Pennsylvania.

What makes her influential: She leads a faculty of 13,000 and a community of 21,000 students. During her tenure, Faust launched edX, the popular online learning partnership with MIT. She’s also expanded access to financial aid to Harvard College for students of all economic backgrounds and pushed for additional federal funding for scientific research. In addition, she’s raised the profile of arts on campus and expanded Harvard’s international reach.

Arthur T. Demoulas Demoulas Super Markets

If you learned nothing else this year, you probably learned the diff erence between Arthur S. Demoulas and Arthur T. Demoulas — two names that were in the news for years as members of their extended family quarreled with, and sued, each other over control of the Market Basket supermarket chain and its profi ts. By treating employees well for decades, Arthur T. earned fi erce loyalty that was displayed almost as soon as he was ousted by Market Basket board members who sided with his cousin Arthur S.By managing public opinion brilliantly, Arthur T. and his army of supporters strong-armed the board into rehiring him.

What makes him influential: Arthur T. injected an out-of-vogue notion into the business climate — the idea that employes should help make key decisions about the direction of their workplace. Whether the idea will spread beyond the one company remains to be seen.

Andrew DreyfusPresident and CEO, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mass.

Andrew Dreyfus has had to steer Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts through a massive amount of change since taking on the role four years ago. He has helped pull Massachusetts’ largest health insurer through an increasing amount of regulation and oversight, and through the implementation of the Aff ordable Care Act. Despite added pressures to keep costs down, the insurer continues to be profi table and prolifi c. Dreyfus has a bachelor’s degree from Connecticut College.

What makes him influential: Dreyfus helped implement a new payment methodology known as Alternative Quality Contracts, which has largely changed the game in how doctors interact with insurers. It places a budget on care, incentivizing doctors to manage patient health. Dreyfus also serves on the boards of the Kenneth B. Schwartz Center, the Harvard Risk Management Foundation, and the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley.

Phil Edmundson Chairman and CEO, William Gallagher Associates

Phil Edmundson co-founded William Gallagher Associates (WGA) in 1983 and was named CEO in 1997. Since then, he has helped grow WGA into New England’s largest independent insurance brokerage. Edmundson served as a selectman in Hingham and is trustee of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation and the Trustees of Reservations. A graduate of Amherst College, Edmundson holds advanced degrees in business from Babson College and public policy from Harvard University.

What makes him influential: Edmundson has grown WGA into a regional insurance powerhouse since taking the helm in 1997. WGA has become a go-to adviser on the challenges around insurance coverage, risk management and employee benefits. Edmundson also has a hand in public policy advocacy, serving as chairman of the Alliance for Business Leadership and director of the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers.

Anne Finucane Global chief strategy and marketing off icer, Bank of America

Anne Finucane has worked at Bank of America for 18 years and is currently global chief strategy and marketing offi cer. Her role gives her direct oversight of the bank’s strategic eff orts, its advertising campaigns and its public advocacy both domestically and around the world. Finucane previously worked at Boston advertising fi rm Hill Holliday and early in her career was an aide to Boston Mayor Kevin White.

What makes her influential: In her role, Finucane flexes the advertising and lobbying muscles of one of the country’s largest banks and she has long been seen as a key adviser to the bank’s CEO. She also oversees the bank’s charitable foundation, which has a 10-year goal of giving away $2 billion. Through her oversight of BofA’s corporate social responsibility program, she helped roll out a number of splashy charitable eff orts, such as partnering with U2 to raise funds to fight AIDS in Africa.

John Fish CEO, Suff olk Construction Co.

As chairman and CEO of Suff olk Construction Co., John Fish leads an enterprise that generates $2 billion in annual revenue. Fish also serves on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and as chairman of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and the Boston 2024 Partnership. Fish also supports a host of nonprofi ts, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston and Boston Symphony Orchestra.

What makes him influential: At first, many scoff ed at the idea of Boston hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics. The fact that a host of political and business leaders have become supporters of the eff ort underscores Fish’s connection to power and his ability to change minds and rally the community around a vision for the future. Fish has already left his mark on the region, and bringing the Olympics to Boston could help accelerate the pace of change in the city, advancing infrastructure projects and opening the door to new private development post-Games.

Congratulations to UMass President Robert L. Caret

and UMass Boston Chancellor J. Keith Motley for expanding

the boundaries of knowledge through their exemplary

leadership in public higher education.

Gail GoodmanPresident and CEO, Constant Contact Inc.

Gail Goodman had a single product and a few employees when she launched her own online marketing fi rm in 1999. Today, the now-public Constant Contact has 1,100 employees in seven locations and provides online marketing tools to more than 600,000 small businesses and organizations. A graduate of Th e University of Pennsylvania, Goodman also earned an MBA from Amos Tuck School at Dartmouth.

What makes her influential: A first-time CEO, Goodman built the Waltham-based company to more than $250 million in revenue and has become a thought leader in the world of digital marketing. Goodman has cleared a path not only for future women executives but also the number of founders who are faced with scaling their businesses. As a trustee of the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council and the board of directors of SCORE — which off ers small-business mentoring — Goodman influences others to push the envelope both personally and professionally.

Gary GottliebPresident and CEO, Partners HealthCare

Health care mogul Gary Gottlieb has spent the last 16 years at Partners HealthCare, fi rst as chairman of Partners Psychiatry and Mental Health and now as CEO. As a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, he earned an MBA with distinction from the Wharton Graduate School of Business Administration and received his medical degree from the Albany Medical College of Union University.

What makes him influential: Gottlieb, who served as president of Brigham and Women’s/Faulkner Hospitals before joining Partners, played an integral part in the company becoming a strong force throughout health care in Eastern Massachusetts. As part of that mission, he has led a controversial eff ort at Partners to acquire South Shore Hospital and two hospitals north of Boston. And now Gottlieb has a diff erent mission in his sights: joining Partners In Health as its CEO in mid-2015 to focus on providing health care to people in some of the poorest areas in the world.

Carol FulpPresident and CEO, The Partnership Inc.

Community outreach is what she does best. Meet Carol Fulp, president and CEO of Th e Partnership Inc., a group that provides services to more than 3,000 professionals of color and 250 corporations. Before Th e Partnership, Fulp was head of corporate responsibility at John Hancock Financial and oversaw its $12 million philanthropy program. She attended the University of the State of New York.

What makes her influential: When she took on the role of CEO in 2012, Fulp was tasked with taking the group, which was created 25 years ago to increase the profile of African Americans in the state, into the next phase. Since then, the group has built a new leadership model for professionals of color and has launched the first senior executive program that focuses on leadership from a multicultural perspective. Fulp’s eff orts earned her the appointment of U.S. representative to the 65th session of the United Nations General Assembly. She also received the Living Legend Award from the Museum of African American History.

Since taking over the Globe, Henry has already launched new sections and online sites in attempt to broaden its readership.

Th e former CEO of Network Plus and now president and CEO of Granite Telecommunications, Hale has been instrumental in growing the company that provides middleware to help ease the burden for companies with multiple locations and multiple invoices by decreasing accounting and administration costs.

What makes him influential: Hale has been on a roller coaster of a ride with the Quincy company he started in 2002 with an $800,000 investment from his father, the late Bob Hale. When other companies no longer wanted their public switch business and focused on broadband and wireless, Hale’s company was happy to step in. Today, Granite has surpassed $1 billion in annual revenue. To celebrate, Hale gave each of his 1,200 employees $1,000 bonuses and also donated a total of $1 million to several charities, including Alzheimer’s Association and Autism Speaks.

What makes him influential: In 2010, four years after Healy co-founded EnerNOC Inc., he was on the fence about whether to continue on as CEO and lead his company through the next stages of growth.

Karen Kaplan President, CEO & chairwoman, Hill Holliday

Karen Kaplan fi rst worked at Hill Holliday as a receptionist in 1982, after being handpicked by agency founder Jack Connors. From there, she climbed the ladder until she ran out of rungs, being named president in 2007 and CEO in 2013 and adding the title of chairwoman in 2014. Kaplan is a past chair of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce — the second woman to hold that role.

What makes her influential: Kaplan has left her imprint on Hill Holliday, one of Boston’s most venerable creative shops, and across the advertising landscape, where she has helped win clients such as Dunkin’ Donuts and Major League Baseball. Advertising Age named her an industry “rainmaker” for helping grow the agency’s billings — now over $2 billion annually. Kaplan also works to shatter glass ceilings for others locally and around the globe, serving on the board of Jobs for Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Conference for Women.

Abigail Johnson President and CEO, Fidelity Investments

Fidelity Investments named Abigail Johnson its CEO in October. Johnson takes over the position from her father, Edward “Ned” Johnson III, who had held it since 1977. Abigail Johnson began her career at Fidelity before starting college and has worked in most of the fi rm’s business units over the course of her career, which also includes a brief stint as a Booz Allen Hamilton consultant.

What makes her influential: Though her ascension to CEO was long expected, having the title removes any doubt that she is in charge at Fidelity, where she’s now the third generation of Johnsons to run the firm founded by her grandfather in 1946. At 52 years old — and if history is any guide — Abby, as she is known, will likely have her hand on the rudder at Fidelity, the country’s second-largest mutual fund firm, for some time to come. With a net worth estimated by Forbes at more than $13 billion, Johnson is also one of the wealthiest people in the state.

Stephen Karp Chairman and CEO, New England Development

What makes him influential: Karp’s impact on the New England landscape is undeniable. Some of his earliest mall developments remain retail landmarks decades later. And his plans to redevelop the Anthony’s Pier 4 site into a 1-million-square-foot hotel, apartment and condominium project will permanently alter the Boston waterfront. Karp also helps shape policy as a member of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board and the Urban Land Institute.

Jim KochChairman, Boston Beer Co.

Boston Beer Co. has come a long way from when Jim Koch started brewing his fi rst batch of Samuel Adams lager in his kitchen 30 years ago. Th e Harvard-trained business consultant started selling his beer to local restaurants out of his car. His company is now the second-largest domestic brewer in the country, after Yuengling. As chairman, he still plays an important role in each beer that his company concocts at its test brewery in Jamaica Plain.

What makes him influential: Koch’s role in the booming craft beer industry can’t be understated. He certainly wasn’t the first to launch a successful craft beer company. But his has become the biggest in the country, churning out as many as 50 diff erent beers and ciders a year. Koch is a ready mentor, and he fosters the growth of promising young beer businesses through the company’s Alchemy & Science incubator. Along those lines, Koch guides other food and beverage entrepreneurs through his Brewing the American Dream program, which off ers grants and coaching advice.

Robert KraftChairman and chief executive, The Kraft Group

As head of Th e Kraft Group, Robert Kraft leads a sprawling empire of high-profi le businesses, such as the New England Patriots and New England Revolution, and quietly powerful businesses, such as International Forest Products and his family’s own private equity unit. Owner of Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Kraft also oversees the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation, one of the largest philanthropic nonprofi ts in the region. He has owned International Forest Products since the early 1970s and the Patriots franchise since 1994. What makes him influential: Kraft is one of the most respected and well-known businessmen in the state, driven largely by the tremendous success of his New England Patriots, the three-time Super Bowl winner and one of the most successful professional sports franchises in the nation. That gives him a statesman-like clout.

Gloria Cordes LarsonPresident, Bentley University

Gloria Cordes Larson has been president of Bentley University in Waltham since 2007. She’s the former state secretary of consumer aff airs and state secretary of economic aff airs under Gov. William Weld, and she’s the former co-chairwoman of Foley Hoag LLP’s government strategies committee. She’s served on, and often led, numerous boards and commissions, including the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. What makes her influential: Larson is one of the most politically wired leaders in Greater Boston. She’s played key roles under both Republican and Democratic administrations, most recently serving as a business and economic adviser to Gov. Deval Patrick. It would take a lot to break her completely away from Bentley University, which Larson is currently helping transform from a largely regional business college into a nationally recognized university.

William LeePartner, WilmerHale

William Lee started at WilmerHale back in the late 1970s, when he was fresh out of law school and the law fi rm was known by its previous name Hale and Dorr. Since then, Lee has come to be known as tops in his fi eld as a patent and commercial litigator. And he served as co-managing partner of the fi rm for a decade, stepping down from that role in 2011.

Earlier in his career, Lee was an associate counsel on the Iran-Contra Investigation and he has worked as a special assistant to the Massachusetts AG’s off ice, investing alleged racial bias in the state court system. Adding to his impressive career is the fact that Lee has risen to prominence amidst relatively few Asian American lawyers in Boston.

Jeff rey LeidenPresident and CEO, Vertex Pharmaceuticals

Jeff rey Leiden was appointed president and CEO of Vertex in December 2011, but the past year has perhaps been the most transformational for the company in his tenure. Th e Boston biotech stopped selling its one-time blockbuster drug for hepatitis C, and refocused attention on the disease for which its become known, cystic fi brosis. Th e company has 1,800 employees worldwide.

What makes him influential: Under Leiden’s leadership, the company got approval for the first-ever drug to treat patients with cystic fibrosis in 2012, which will do about $460 million in sales this year. But it’s also brought a drug to treat many more patients with the disease through a successful late-stage trial this year, with approval expected next year. By the end of next year, Vertex drugs will likely be approved to treat nearly half the people in the world with cystic fibrosis, and other drugs in the works will expand on that.

He’s previously served as executive vice president, CFO, treasurer and vice president of acquisitions and new business at the fi rm. He’s also the former president of Capstone Investments, a Boston real estate investment company. What makes him influential: When your company owns or manages about 13 million square feet of off ice space in the region — including Boston’s prestigious Prudential Center and John Hancock Tower — you have instant influence. And so that makes Linde, as president of Boston Properties, a powerful, though quiet, business force in Boston and across eastern Massachusetts. Besides its high-profile holdings in Boston, Linde’s firm also owns key off ice properties in Cambridge and along the Route 128 corridor.

David LongChief executive and chairman, Liberty Mutual Group

Sheila Lirio MarceloFounder and CEO, Care.com

Many female startup founders consider her to be an influential and inspirational figure in the tech industry.

His tenure at the museum follows a long academic career at Tufts University, where he held a number of positions, including dean of the school of engineering, associate provost, interim dean of the graduate school of arts and science, and professor of mechanical engineering. He is a native of Greece. What makes him influential: Overseeing the most attended cultural institution in Boston is responsibility enough. But Miaoulis has also been overseeing the Museum of Science’s massive $250 million capital campaign that’s funding the institution’s first major renovations in decades. The campaign has already led to, or has plans for, renovations to the Charles Hayden Planetarium, upgrades to the Mugar Omni Theater, construction of a new Sophia and Bernard M. Gordon Wing, opening of three new major exhibits, and a new Charles River gallery and entryway into the museum.

Girish NavaniChief executive and co-founder, eClinicalWorks LLC

What makes him influential: Reynolds, who is also president and CEO of Great-West Financial, is a firm believer in creating a better retirement plan and often touts two ways to save for retirement: start young and use automatic savings. In fact, Reynolds has said changes in federal law are needed to make auto enrollment a part of the retirement savings system to increase participation in 401(k) plans.

Girard R. SargentPresident, Citizens Bank of Massachusetts

Jerry Sargent was hired in 2010 as president of Citizens Bank of Massachusetts after a near decade of calling the shots at the bank’s all-important commercial banking division. A Bowdoin College graduate, Sargent worked eight years as a commercial banker with State Street Corp. and another six years in various positions with Shawmut Bank before joining Citizens in 1999.

What makes him powerful: Sargent’s near 30-year career in the banking sector has served him well since taking the helm at Citizens Bank of Massachusetts, which has maintained its rank as the second largest deposit holder in Massachusetts despite a tumultuous period that saw its parent, Royal Bank of Scotland, fall into receivership following the 2009 credit crisis and ultimately spin-off its Citizens Financial Group subsidiary in an IPO this year. With its independence in hand, Citizens is expected to solidify its local talent and retrain its resources to expand market share. His community involvement has included an executive committee seat with MassEcon and board positions with the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation and Lawrence Academy in Groton.

Despite a plan to close up to 225 of its 1,846 stores in North America by the end of 2015, Sargent is working hard to position Staples for long-term growth by developing a reinvention strategy. Part of that strategy is reinvesting in the online and delivery segments of the business by adding 250,000 new products to be sold online and growing its delivery business, a segment that Sargent was responsible for launching in 1991.

SPONSORS PARTNERS

Steven WrightPartner, Holland & Knight

As executive partner at Holland & Knight, Steven Wright oversees the management of the fi rm’s 142-lawyer Boston offi ce, where he’s served Fortune 500 companies as lead counsel since 2008. Previously, Wright served as deputy counsel to the mayor of New York City and was Deputy Bureau Chief in the Massachusetts Attorney General’s offi ce. He received his law degree from Boston College and bachelor’s degree in business from East Carolina University.

What makes him influential: Wright influences change through law and by advocating for diversity through groups such as the Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association. He developed a strategy for presentation to the Centers for Disease Control and members of Congress, which resulted in expanded use for a new children’s vaccine. The increased use eliminated a racial health disparity. “Excellence in legal services is paramount,” he said. “But having diversity is a reflection of a law firm’s ability to partner with them in a way that reflects their values and judgments.”

Marty WalshMayor, City of Boston

Th e late Tom Menino leaves some big shoes to fi ll. In a way, though, Marty Walsh isn’t going to try to fi ll them. Instead, he’s carving his own path as the new mayor of Boston, after he was elected last November. Walsh previously was a longtime state rep from Dorchester and a leader in Boston’s organized labor community. Both roles forced him to learn the art of consensus building, a skill that will come in handy at City Hall.

What makes him influential: Walsh is determined to improve the diversity among City Hall’s leadership, to make city government more accessible and better reflect Boston’s changing demographics and political power base. Walsh inherits a strong economy, with cranes rising on the South Boston waterfront and a new wave of tech startups. But he also inherits major problems that he’ll try to tackle: a redevelopment authority in need of reform, a flailing school system, and soaring property values that threaten to squeeze out Boston’s middle class.
