PPB Announces 13 Rising Stars

PPB magazine has selected its 2012 Rising Stars from more than 40 nominations in its annual competition. Nominated by industry peers and selected by an in-house panel, the 13 individuals chosen showcase an impressive array of accomplishments along with strong initiative, high energy, industry and community commitments, entrepreneurial chops and demonstrated expertise in technology.

“In this third year of our program, the quality of nominations continues to be really impressive,” says Tina Berres Filipski, editor of PPB. “In our search for the true leaders of tomorrow, we were introduced to so many people who are doing some amazing things at companies across the industry. We are thrilled to shine our spotlight on these lucky 13.”
