The new year always brings a mix of challenges and opportunities. As we look ahead, the staff of the Hartford Business Journal has identified five Greater Hartford executives and leaders who will make headlines in 2015. Among them are a hospital CEO looking for a potential merger/acquisition; a new college president aiming to tighten her school’s ties with Hartford’s business community; a newly appointed CEO of the state’s largest business lobby; a state senator who will make key spending decisions for the upcoming budget; and an executive leading Frontier Communications’ Connecticut expansion. It is a powerful, influential group working on some of the major challenges facing the region this year. We hope you will enjoy reading about their plans for 2015.
