Crain's Grand Rapids Business

Our list of the 200 Most Influential Leaders in West Michigan features some new faces in 2024. The names on this list are some of the most familiar in business, civic leadership, higher education and other key sectors that make West Michigan’s economy tick. These are the C-suite leaders, directors, and executives who wield the most influence in our region, collectively overseeing thousands of workers and generating billions of dollars in economic activity. While these folks clearly have influence, none of them requested to be on this list. Rather, the Crain’s Grand Rapids Business team of journalists selected these 200 executives based on who's driving the news in West Michigan. Get to know them here: https://lnkd.in/eqqhgK6F
