Who's Who in Chicago Business 2003

The ability to get things done is the hallmark of the Chicago version of a mover and shaker.  Whether in a wood-paneled boardroom, at the back table of a restaurant or in front of a philanthropic gathering, these men and women are known as doers, not talkers.  Some lead multinational, multibillion-dollar concerns.  Others work quietly in the background.

 

But whatever their titles, their accomplishments are felt in corporate, civic, political and philanthropic circles throughout the metropolitan area.
