2-26-2021 Mitch Nusbaum named to the Rochester Business Journal's "Power 100" list.
Congratulations to Mitch Nusbaum, the firm's Managing Partner, for being named to the Rochester Business Journal’s inaugural “Power 100” list. The folks on this list were selected by the leaders of the Rochester Business Journal, and it consists of individuals whom they feel have played an important role in our community over the past year or so and will continue to make an impact on the Rochester community as we recover from the pandemic.
RBJ’s Power 100 List 2021
By: Ben Jacobs February 26, 2021
When we decided to launch our Power List series, we knew it would be a difficult task to select just 100 power players in the Rochester community for our inaugural Power 100 list.
Ben Jacobs
It definitely was. But we are pleased with the makeup of this list of leaders.
Health care is heavily represented, as it should be. The health care industry is vitally important to the Rochester economy even in normal times, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased our reliance on our local health care organizations.
Rochester’s nonprofits also have played a crucial role in helping our community survive this crisis, and they are well-represented here.
Banking and finance, education, law, manufacturing, and real estate and construction also have a significant presence here and in our local economy.
Over the rest of the year, we will delve deeper into several of these industries — banking and finance, health care, higher education, law, and real estate and construction — with Power 30 lists that will allow us to highlight more people who are working to make an impact in Rochester.
Rather than tell you about all of these power players’ accomplishments and accolades, we decided to give them a chance to tell you more about themselves through their answers to a few different questions. For anyone who was unable to complete our questionnaire, we put together a small profile.
The Power 100 is presented in alphabetical order; selecting 100 power players was hard enough without trying to rank them. We are optimistic that the people and organizations listed here will play a large role in helping Rochester recover from the pandemic. We also look forward to seeing who steps up even more over the next year to earn a spot on the 2022 Power 100.
We know that any endeavor such as this is sure to generate lots of opinions, and not everyone will agree with our choices. I welcome any feedback you have at bjacobs@bridgetowermedia.com.
