Meet the 2023 Lehigh Valley Business’ Power 100

Hello readers, and welcome. We at Lehigh Valley Business are pleased to present our 2023 LVB Power 100 List. These are the people who shape our communities and influence the quality of life in our region. They are leaders – some quite prominent and well-known, as well as those who are behind-the-scenes changemakers. They operate in all spheres of endeavor: law, finance, education, government, health care, business and nonprofits. 

This, our third annual list, was compiled by the editorial staff and leadership team at the Lehigh Valley Business. You’ll find many familiar names from last year’s list, plus many newcomers who are leaving their mark. This is not a ranking. There is no score. Our goal with these profiles is to showcase these people in a way that reveals something meaningful about who they are as well insights into some of their professional challenges and triumphs. 

We hope you enjoy this special edition.
