They don’t run the company. They run the day.
Behind every C-Suite leader featured in the LA500 are teams of people crucial to the company’s success. Those teams have leaders within them – The Indispensables.
Those who lead customer relationships. Those who flag problems before they become a crisis. They drive innovation. They’re the ones who guard your data, mentor new hires, and somehow know where everything is.
The Los Angeles Business Journal is shining a spotlight on these important individuals. This year, we’re introducing The Indispensables — a new editorial product and special publication for the non-C-suite professionals who are essential to their organizations.
Nominations may come from leadership or from colleagues who believe their teammate deserves their moment. Because in Los Angeles business, success is never a solo act.
