"As one of the rising mid-market business executives in the world, Aviva Leebow Wolmer has demonstrated true leadership not only in her role at Pacesetter but by thinking beyond the corporate walls to help improve lives and benefit the greater society," said Kenneth Beck, CEO of CEO Connection. "Her story reflects the importance of the mid-market to the economy and sets a standard for mid-market rising stars."

Aviva Leebow Wolmer has been a transformative and commanding force during her tenure of leadership at Pacesetter, the unprecedented leader in innovative solutions for the manufacturing industry. Initially, she was responsible for creating "Pacesetter University," before transitioning first to Vice President for People and subsequently Executive Vice President – a role responsible for the company's corporate, profitable growth.

Upon Leebow Wolmer's promotion to CEO, she released the "Vivid Vision." This document continues to inspire and direct a culture shift within the organization. Because of her dedication to innovation, partnership and personal fulfillment in the workplace, departmental boundaries no longer exist and she has ignited inspiration, creativity, enthusiasm and collaboration throughout the entire organization.

Leebow Wolmer is aggressively working to break down the perception that steel is an antiquated industry and replace it with her vision of a vibrant, technology-driven cornerstone of American manufacturing.
